OSO Arts Centre
The OSO Arts Centre is a theatre and arts centre located in Barnes in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.[1] The building was previously the postal sorting office, but was redeveloped into a mixture of residential and commercial space with the first residents moving in in 1999. In 2002 the arts centre opened[2] and in 2012 the OSO Arts Centre came under the direction of a new board of trustees. The building is located on Barnes Green, and provides arts services to the community, both in the form of evening performances in the theatre[2] space, and daytime dance and art classes.[3] Some well-known names have performed at the OSO over the years including Patricia Hodge, Timothy West, Stephanie Cole, Julian Glover, and Robert Pattinson.[4]
