Introducing the Nottingham Arts 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.
The theatre space provides Nottingham with a medium sized performance venue (capacity 320 - main theatre space) and is in the process of securing funding to create a studio theatre (capacity 50). The studio, scheduled for completion in 2009 will provide 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.
