A number of Nottinghamshire theatres will be giving the public a sneak peek behind the scenes – via social networking site Twitter.
The Royal Concert Hall, Lace Market Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse and Mansfield's Palace Theatre will be joining 300 other theatres and drama organisations across the country as part of a global celebration.
Theatre-goers around the world will be given an exclusive, behind-the-scenes view of life backstage as they prepare for the busy Christmas season.
Well-known theatres including Shakespeare's Globe (@The_Globe) and the National Theatre(@NationalTheatre) will be joined by regional theatres, playhouse and drama groups.
Mar Dixon, who runs the Culture Themes project, says: "#LoveTheatre day will bring together all the fantastic theatre-related stuff happening on Twitter into one place at one time. It's especially exciting as many venues are preparing for Christmas.
"We're expecting Twitter to come to life with an explosion of colour and creativity on Wednesday so follow along on Twitter to make sure you don't miss out."
