People's Theatre - Newcastle

The People’s Theatre has been producing participation theatre to a professional standard for over a hundred years and has become one of the largest and oldest amateur theatre groups in the UK. Supporting people to take their first steps on and behind the stage and creating entertaining, compelling art in the heart of the community, the People’s Theatre builds confidence and nurtures the development of new writing. We stage up to 12 productions a year in our 500-seat main auditorium, and a further 3 productions in the 90-seat studio. The People’s Theatre is a lively hub for the local community, entertaining a broad and diverse range of audiences every year. Help us create a truly inspiring, all-inclusive venue fit for the future. We are planning a new Studio Theatre, full access in all areas to wheel chair & mobility restricted user, a bar, gallery & interactive archive, an improved exterior to the building and a more welcoming foyer. To achieve our goal we need to raise £1.5 milllion. from grants and donations. See more at http://www.peoplesfund.org.uk/our-plan/
