An application to build an extension onto the theatre at Oswestry School has been submitted to Shropshire Council.
The application, submitted on behalf of the school by Levitt Bernstein, reveals plans to "re-imagine" the Memorial Hall Theatre, which the school says is currently "too small to meet the needs of the performing arts curriculum and notably lacks dedicated dance rehearsal spaces".
According to the proposal, the extension would create a larger performance facility, new dance rehearsal teaching facilities within a series of multi-functional spaces, and a range of ancillary accommodation.
