About Your Theatre

The Nottingham Arts Theatre is a charity, which operates a community theatre run, by a dedicated group of volunteers and a professional management team.  It also runs as an in-house theatre company and a Youth Theatre group, which presents a full programme of plays and musicals. The charity is keen to support the cultural development of the city and as a result, stages joint productions, supports community theatre groups and provides performance space for dance schools, operatic companies and an a growing range of music events. In other words -

The theatre space provides Nottingham with a medium sized performance venue (capacity 320 - main theatre space) and in a newly refurbished studio theatre (capacity 50).  The studio, is a flexible performance space for the development of youth theatre provision and experimental and innovative theatre companies in the city centre.

Other facilities in the theatre include rehearsal spaces, a cafe bar and theatre workshops, which are currently undergoing complete renovation.

During the last 60 years, the theatre company has firmly established itself in the community and built an excellent reputation for the quality of its productions and contribution to the amateur theatre community. Recently, the theatre has developed a strategic plan to take the organisation forward, which aims to renovate the theatre building and build an innovative and creative community theatre.

These are exciting times for the Nottingham Arts Theatre and we look forward to welcoming you as, a volunteer, a member of the audience, actor, designer, producer, technician and much much more.
