Well now, that was a FUN run!
From our inception in 2016 to our ultimate demise in 2025.

Yes, the newspaper report in The Edge Community Newspaper of our tragic end, is absolutely factual and very very true. Sadly our tenure cannot continue in our current space due to so many unfortunate and unforseen circumstances that the concept with the proscenium arch is not sustainable.
Fear not,
Theatre is not made of four walls.
It is made of people.
It is made of players and audiences and the weaving of stories. That seem to happen through sheer magic, and we'll tell you what - they don't really, as suspected, it was in the sherry all these many years of Entertainment, and the lights, and the sound and the friendly people at the door, and the backstage folk in black (sometimes all these things were only 3 people - that's a kind of magic too).
Why then should we only exist in a hole in the wall, in some backwater seaside village?
When we can exist IN THE STREETS!!
Coming soon to a pavement near you!
In the aforementioned backwater seaside village!
Studio 42 is going Full Rogue, fasten your seatbelts, fan your jugular, whilst we rest a wee while after the Tremendous 9 Year Season (including 2 years of a fekn global lockdown) and so many debut performances, standing ovations, laughter, tears, near death experiences and the time and space with a Community that still lives and loves in a world with Live Theatre on their doorstep, right here in Sedgefield.
Au Revoir Studio 42
It's been emotional.
