THE Brunton in Musselburgh will continue to make the most of venues around the county in the weeks to come as it looks to relocate shows.
An announcement was made last week that the theatre would close for all performances until June due to “structural issues” found with the theatre’s roof.

It was announced that performances would be rescheduled and new venues found where possible to minimise disruption.
Audiences were due to be at The Brunton on Saturday to view A Vision of Elvis a tribute show to the "King of Rock and Roll" from singer Rob Kingsley.
However, the show was relocated to Musselburgh Grammar School, where audiences were welcomed into the school’s halls for the performance.
