Extreme BATS Makeover - Show Edition

After a week of cleaning, scraping, throwing, collecting, wiping, nailing, adjusting, moving and painting, It is business as usual at BATS Theatre.

Come and check out the BATS Makeover. Yes! There were tears of joy, gasps and amazement all around during the big reveal. It was far more dramatic than an episode of Extreme Makeover, Ty Pennington [http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/index?pn=bios#t=designer&d=27615] would have been so proud of all the hard work and the extra hours put in by the volunteers. Thanks to all of those who put in the hard work and helped out.

Opening tommorow night is Grace, the true story of Sophie Dingeman's great-grandmother who faked her own death to be with the man she loved and Shining Armour by Philip Braithwaite where you will find our very own Dark Knight.

Two new shows, newly painted floors and freshly dry cleaned seats. BATS is the place to be.

Love BATSxx
