Performing plays of merit since 1947.
Peterborough Mask Theatre have been delighting audiences in and around the city of Peterborough for over 75 years. We have performed outdoors, in theatres and in a few more unusual venues.
We put on two or three productions a year, ranging from tense contemporary dramas to classic farcical comedies and everything in between.
A Peterborough Mask show is a guaranteed great night out!
