CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
The Miller Centre Theatre’s current response to the pandemic

Following further government announcements, and the ever-evolving coronavirus situation, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel all events at the Miller Centre until September at the earliest. For more information about our response please click here. Please click here for ticket refunds.

Miller Monologues

A temporarily closed Theatre cannot stop our creative drive for finding new ways to produce drama. We have challenged our members to write monologues on the theme of 'Keeping in Touch‘ to be performed by our own actors and shared with our community. Watch out for them here throughout the next few months.
