The Wizard Of Oz pantomime is coming to The Atkinson in Southport on December 18-31
In the week before lockdown back in March 2020, The Atkinson was the site of the spectacular building-wide projection ‘A Nightingale’s Song’ celebrating the whole of the Sefton coast in collaboration with Sefton Borough of Culture 2020. During the first lockdown The Atkinson continued to share content and stories from their collections and programmes, as well as ways to engage online.
After reopening on 27 July, they welcomed over 37,000 visitors who enjoyed some truly outstanding exhibitions from their collections, contemporary artists, The British Library as well as the local community, which then became hugely popular online, immersive presentations for those unable to visit.
During the second lockdown, artist David Ogle’s sculptural installation ‘First Light’ of a rising sun, radiated positivity and the hope of The Atkinson’s re-awakening. This was just one of a series of Hope Street projects commissioned by The Atkinson’s Young Producers. Some were delivered live, like the Bootle ‘Skate Paint’ project, others digitally, such as ‘Butterflies in the Chaos’.
Working closely with LHK Productions, The Atkinson delivered a ‘sold out’ socially distanced pantomime over the Christmas period and was awarded the Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre’s ‘See It Safely’ mark. In the New Year, The Atkinson will stage new exhibitions on the connecting theme of ‘Inspirational Journeys’.
The Atkinson will continue to champion the enjoyment of arts, culture and heritage, where residents, visitors and communities can be entertained, inspired, continue learning and improve their wellbeing.
