A theatre has announced details of its new season - but not one of the productions will be held at its historic playhouse.
Contractors are expected to start work within weeks on a £1.1m restoration of the Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond.
In the meantime, plays, musical shows and touring performances will be staged at The Zetland Christian Community Centre on Victoria Road.
Channel Theatre Company open the new season with The London Merchant on Saturday, April 20.
Other highlights in the programme include Alan Price on Saturday, June 1, The Taming of the Shrew by Ballet Gwent on Friday, September 20, and the Barber of Seville by Opera Della Luna on Friday, September 27, and Saturday, September 28.
The Richmond Amateur Dramatic Society performs Richard Harris's Visiting Hour between Thursday, May 2, and Saturday, May 4.
Theatre manager Bill Sellars will also direct the group when it performs Court In The Act later in the summer.
Full details are available in the new programme which is available at the Zetland Centre or by telephoning (01748) 823710.
