Following close on the heels of the Oscar-winning weekend of blockbuster films, The Gateway Theatre in Seaton is going to reward you with an even greater array of top class entertainment that is sure to have something for everyone, including the film everyone is talking about, Till.

This heart-breaking story of the historic lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955 Mississippi will be screened on Saturday, April 1 at 7.30pm.

Or how about kicking off Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania on Saturday, April 8 and 7pm?

But if you are looking for something fun to do with your younger family members, then you cannot go wrong with The Gateway's annual Easter Trail followed by the fantastic family film Hop, in which the Easter bunny's son decides to head off to Hollywood, determined to become a drummer in a rock 'n roll band.

To enjoy the family fun Easter Trail around town, looking for clues as you go, just pick up your entry form from the theatre from 11.30am on Good Friday, April 7 (£1 per entry), then head back for the hilarious Hop at 1.30pm. The café will be open for hot and cold drinks along with plenty of cinema treats. Tickets for the film screening cost £7.50/£6.50.

How about being whisked away on a magic carpet to enjoy some Arabian Nights? When a brutal king threatens to put her to death, Scheherazade attempts to buy herself time by telling stories. But will it be enough to save her? 

Dragonboy Productions breathe new life into the greatest folk tales ever told, including The Seven Voyages of Sinbad, The Little Hunchback, Faisal and the Barber, and the Tale of Sage Duban. Directed by Eliot Giuralarocca, this newly adapted performance is going to be a feast of story-telling that is suitable for the whole family.

Catch it at The Gateway on Friday, April 14 with doors opening at 6.30pm. Tickets cost £12, £10 for under 16s or £40 for a family ticket.

The award-winning stage show Heathers The Musical is wickedly funny and homes into the universal agonies of growing up and outsmarting bullies. Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody dreaming of a better day. But when she joins the beautiful but impossibly cruel Heathers, her dreams of becoming a somebody may actually be coming true, but at what cost?

Following two smash hit London seasons and the WhatsOnStage award for best new musical, it's back! Based on the 1988 killer cult classic hit that starred Wynona Ryder and Christian Slate, Heathers The Musical is produced by Bill Kenwright and Paul Taylor-Mills, with music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe.  With direction from Andy Fickman and electrifying choreography from Gary Lloyd, this is a production you cannot miss!

It will be coming to The Gateway on Tuesday, March 28 with doors opening at 6.30pm. Tickets cost £12 or £10 for under 16s.
