Theatre Hosts Online Quiz
Darlington Hippodrome will be engaging with the
community with an arts and entertainment online quiz on Friday 27 March at
7.30pm to help celebrate World Theatre Day.
With the entire country adopting
social distancing measures people have looked to the internet to keep engaged
with family, to keep fit, to remain mentally active or just to learn new
skills.
Through the power of Zoom –
an online meetings app – Darlington Hippodrome will be engaging with theatre
lovers with an online arts and entertainment online quiz which will take place
on Friday 27 March at 7.30pm. There will be rounds on music, art, literature,
films and more. Homes can take part as a small team or you can take part as an
individual – there will be no ‘winning’ prize – just the fun of joining in a
large social online event to help pass the time.
Rebecca Howarth from
Darlington Hippodrome told us “This way of engaging with the community is all
very new to us and it may be a little rough around the edges, but the theatre
is looking at new and exciting ways we can engage with the community to keep
spirits up, have some fun and allow people some social interaction in these
difficult times.”
Rebecca continued “Over the
last couple of weeks Zoom has become the go-to app to allow large groups of
people to engage in activities such as keep fit classes, singing classes, drama
classes and even learning how to knit. It’s a great way to meet friends and
make new ones as well.”
If you are interested in
taking part in the online quiz simply go to the Darlington Hippodrome Facebookpage and ‘attend’ the Virtual Quiz Night event. Further details will be posted
in the event on Friday evening. All you need to take part is internet access, a
phone or laptop with a camera, pen and paper for your answers, an open mind and
a sense of humour.
The quiz will be open to
the first 100 participants who access the Zoom event on the night, but don’t be
disappointed if you miss out on this occasion as there will be future theatre
events to get involved in.
