Leeds Arts Centre is a prestigious amateur theatre group which presents a wide variety of plays at the Carriageworks Theatre on Millennium Square in Leeds.
We offer opportunities to all who are interested in becoming involved with any aspect of drama, including acting, directing, stage management, props, designing, costumes, lighting, sound, publicity and front of house.
During the pandemic, Leeds Arts Centre is following local and national guidance regarding amateur dramatics and social gatherings.
All of our productions and face-to-face meetings are currently on hold, but we’re continuing to offer our members regular online activities and social events. Please get in touch if you would like more details about joining us, or keep an eye on this site or our social media accounts for news of our postponed productions.
Andre is 80 years old and was once a tap dancer. He lives with his daughter Anne and her husband Antoine. Or was he an engineer whose daughter Anne lives in London with her new lover, Pierre? The thing is, he is still wearing his pyjamas, and he can’t find his watch.
This is a beautiful study of a man descending into dementia and we join him on his journey. It is funny and heart-breaking.
