THEATRE enthusiasts got a rare glimpse of what goes into making shows happen.

Visitors to the Churchill Theatre, High Street, Bromley, were taken on a tour of areas usually inaccessible to the public.

These included dressing rooms, wardrobe and the green room where actors relax.

Theatre manager John Short said: "It allowed members of the public to venture backstage and see things which are normally exclusive to staff members and the stars, all for free.

"The event enabled us to give back to the community and was a fun-filled day out."

The tours were held as part of the Open House weekend.
