Where is the show?

ESPA are delighted (and a little relieved) to announce the new venue for Parade! We will be heading over to the highly sought after, Nomad Theatre this June! We understand we are a little further afield (over the old Redhill) but we are determined for the show to go on and we would love and appreciate your support in joining us at this new venue. The Nomad Theatre is based in the picturesque village of East Horsley, less than 15 miles from Redhill.

What can I expect?

Experience the power of hope in the face of adversity with this daring, innovative and bold Tony Award-winning musical, Parade.

In its 25th Anniversary this year, the themes of this show still resonate, as the backdrop of religious intolerance, political injustice and racial tension takes you on a journey through the darkest corners of America’s history. Immerse yourself in the genius of acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) and a rousing, colourful and haunting score by Jason Robert Brown (Songs For A New World, The Last Five Years).

Parade is filled with soaring music and a heart-wrenching story, offering a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten. Allow Parade to ignite your emotions and inspire conversations about the resilience of the human spirit. If you’re looking for a powerful, moving theatrical experience, look no further than this unforgettable show.
