3rd Birthday


Gateway Theatre is turning 3 years old this July, and we are celebrating the number 3! 3 is a magical number because good things are found in 3s. For example, in theatre, plays often have 3 Acts. In writing, there is the “rule of 3”, a technique to get a laugh or make you remember something. Most stories have 3 parts; a beginning, a middle and an end, and there are usually 3 wishes to be granted, just like in Aladdin, or 3 guesses from Rumpelstiltskin. Not forgetting some memorable “3” characters: Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, the 3 Billy Goats Gruff, 3 Blind Mice, and the 3 Musketeers!
At Gateway Theatre’s 3rd Birthday we are excited to present 3 Chapters for your viewing pleasure and participation. All our programmes will be online and will go LIVE at a specific time, so lock in the date and join us for our party!
Here’s what to look forward to:
