I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
- Oscar Wilde

“The actor should be able to create the universe
in the palm of his hand.”
- Laurence Olivier

Our new theatre opened in 2009 with state of the art rigging, lights and sound. It comfortably seats 535 in a continental style seating arrangement with plenty of leg room. There's not a bad seat in the house!
