Crunch talks to save axed theatre have stalled, writes Local Democracy Reporter Charlotte Green
-
CRUNCH talks aimed at saving Oldham's Coliseum theatre and protecting dozens of jobs have ended in stalemate but campaigners say the fight 'isn't over!
The performance union Equity met Arts Council England representatives at their office in Manchester with the hope of finding a solution to the funding crisis facing the theatre company and the 70 people employed there facing redundancy. It comes as the Coliseum Theatre is due to close its doors permanently on March 31, after being dropped from the Arts Council funding portfolio.
