Down in the sleepy hamlet of Woolwich, there's an excitement buzzing around. Folk are chattering about the resurgence of the
Woolwich Grand Theatre¹. I've not followed their developments too closely, but it seems they are aiming to bring cultural live entertainment to Woolwich once more, and what a great thing once this comes to fruition. Woolwich needs a place to focus the many creative minds and talents of this little settlement, especially so as it's perceived as a dour area. In years to come, Londinium will grow beyond Holborn and encompass rural communities like Woolwich and when that era cometh, art could easily be forgotten.
On the other hand, there is already a bubbling creative scene up the hill in Plumsteadshire. And what do such 'with-it' folk enjoy? Live
comedy which is just as well because this Saturday is comedy night at The Pavilion. You'd be a fool to miss it.

Hi totally off thread but can anyone recommend child minders in the area?
Popped in The Grand Theatre cafe today for a Cup of Tea and Bacon Sarnie, after welcoming the King's Troop to Woolwich. The proposals for the Grand Theatre are fantastic, but they need help and support from all areas of the community, particularly the Council!!
Doctor, you need to police your comments more closley. Most of them are completely unrelated to the post!
If you're looking for more theatre in the Plumstead area check out The Tramshed (also central Woolwich) - it's a young people's theatre with loads of arts activities for all ages, currently from 5-25 (but for 'Teeny Tiny Theatre' coming soon!)
The Tramshed is also hosting this year's Greenwich Children's Theatre Festival - happening over the Easter holidays from 31st march - 15th April 2012. It includes the Big Workshop Day (Sat 7th) with free workshops in loads of venues in the area.
The Tramshed is also the venue for Plumstead's film festival gala night- 'Edge of the City'
Hope this is of interest for arty-people in Plumstead!

This sounds like a great project for Woolwich.
