We had a great first week, with the opening party attended by a capacity crowd including the great Claire Kinson, who will be bringing us an evening of Kurt Weill later in the year. Five acts gave us a hilarious and entertaining taster of what’s to come.  Joe Cang was fabulous! So don’t miss his full set on this Friday 5th July at 9pm……….Julie Jepson compered the show and then wowed us with her off the cuff humour at her show on Sunday. Julie Ross had them queuing down the stairs and the staff in the bar downstairs said the applause was deafening!!  Well done Julie!

More than 5000 people came down to Fair on the Green, the wonderful annual day for residents and neighbours of Parsons Green.  Supported and sponsored by a whole host of local estate agents and businesses Fair on the Green has become a truly magnificent annual event.  This year Upstairs at the Southern Cross has opened and will now be part of this vibrant community.  Watch this space for the next stage in the development of our theatre here in Parsons Green!  Announcing soon the further plans for development and our Autumn season!!!  Enjoy the sunshine!
