The main auditorium seats 401 and is in use normally from the end of August to the following July.
The theatre also hosts productions from local visiting societies and schools, as well as 30 or more one-night shows per year from individual professionals and other production companies.
Built in 1931,[1] and most recently refurbished in 1999,[2] the playhouse consists of two performance spaces.
The building has a 100-space free car park, a spacious lobby and a well-stocked theatre bar.
There are also a small number of employees in specific areas which need to be staffed during the day – such as the box office, cleaning and workshop.
