Free drop-in open day with three 20-minute performances by West End stars Nicholas Duncan and Shinead Barrett-Byrne from The Matinee Club.
The Albany Theatre is hosting a Matinee Club Open Day on Tuesday 17 November, a free drop-in session that runs from 11am to 2pm. The main draw is CN Live!, with West End stars Nicholas Duncan and Shinead Barrett-Byrne performing three 20-minute sets on the foyer stage at 11:30am, 12:30pm and 1:30pm. It's a relaxed way to spend a few hours in the morning, and because it's a drop-in, you can come and go as you like rather than committing to the whole three hours.
The day is run by the theatre as a taster of the Matinee Club, a CN Live Productions show that brings West End talent to Coventry. The club's regular repertoire includes Magic of the Musicals, Thank You for the Music – A Mamma Mia Party! and A Good Old-Fashioned Christmas, so if you're into musical theatre, this is a good place to get a feel for what they do. The open day is described as a taster of the club's relaxed daytime entertainment – music, live performance and special shows in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere – and it's suitable for all ages.

Beyond the performances, there's a bit more on the go. The bar will be open throughout the session, and there's a competition for show tickets and a bundle of goodies. If you do decide the club is for you, the open day also gives you money off next year's membership. It's free to attend, and since the three performances are spread across the morning and early afternoon, you can catch one or all three depending on when you arrive.
