The Show Must Go On…

Greenwich Theatre

Nevada Street

Greenwich, SE10 8ES

Greenwich Theatre’s 2021 Advent Window represents the positive outlook and “Brighter Vision” we maintain in regard to the performing arts industry getting back on its feet after such a dark period.  

This festive season we celebrate the long awaited return of our traditional pantomime, The Queen of Hearts, whilst looking forward to the exciting productions we have scheduled for the new year.  

Our Advent Window reflects Greenwich Theatre’s resilience and commitment to entertaining our loyal audiences, despite several industry wide lockdowns.  

After all the show must go on…

“Smilely Happy People”

Smile and the whole of Greenwich smiles with you. Even in 2021. Neon Bright Smileys Galore will be found in the window at Ben Oakley Gallery.

While you’re admiring the window this weekend, why not pop into the Gallery and have a look at its annual act auction of The Phing Things? Artists decorate the plain penguin and there will be a silent auction at the gallery. All proceeds benefit St. Christopher’s Hospice.

The window is best viewed any time.

“Optimism”

67 Maidenstone Hill

Greenwich, SE10 8SY

There’s always a reason to be optimistic. There’s always a reason to love the bright lights. Be the star in your own life.

This window actually had two versions. Much like other things in 2021, there was a Plan A and a Plan B. Plan B went up on the 16th of December, but Plan A (above) went up a few days later once all of the necessary supplies had arrived, and the owner was no longer in Covid isolation. Below is Plan B, which we’re sure you’d agree is also beautiful.

The window is best viewed when lit.

The window will be ready in the evening on 16 December.

(No Window Today)

Art Made by St. Ursula’s School

68 Crooms Hill, Greenwich, SE10 8HG

Unfortunately, there will be no window for 15 December as the installer has been felled by Covid and needs to isolate. The Advent Window would have been done by the students of St. Ursula’s School and seen at the Presbytery of Our Lady Star of the Sea on 68 Crooms Hill. We hope the installer feels better soon, and we look forward to seeing St. Ursula’s contribution in 2022.

Days of Light

94 Royal Hill

Greenwich, SE10 8RT

“Days of Light” will use Christmas decorations, stained glass, flora and fauna in its Advent Window. It is a collaboration between local children and residents, with most of the work done by 10-year-old Samai.

Plants for the window have been donated by the wonderful local florist Alan. Dawn, another local resident, provided special help.

An Opening Event will be held at 1 p.m. and again at 5 p.m. with non-alcoholic mulled wine and minced pies. Local resident and violinist Yohei Nakajima will play some carols at the opening.

The window can be viewed at any time.

The window will be ready by 1 p.m. on 13 December.
