Nottingham Playhouse
At Nottingham Playhouse we make bold and thrilling theatre. It is world-class, made in Nottingham and as diverse as our community. Situated in Nottingham city centre, Nottingham Playhouse puts on a wide variety of drama, music, dance, comedy and of course, the legendary Nottingham Playhouse pantomime. Nottingham Playhouse has been one of the United Kingdom’s leading producing theatres since its foundation in 1948. Touring work nationally and internationally, the Playhouse remains firmly rooted in its vibrant home city, where its spacious modernist building – fronted by Anish Kapoor’s Sky Mirror – is one of the region’s most popular landmarks. Within these walls we create productions large and small: timeless classics, enthralling family shows and adventurous new commissions. As a charity, we constantly fundraise to ensure that everyone in our community can access world-class theatre. We welcome support from businesses through sponsorship and project partnerships and rely on the generosity of donors and funders to continue our creative and community work.
