People's Theatre

The People's Theatre is described on its own website as the leading non-professional theatre company in the North of England and one of the largest and oldest established in the country. Founded in 1911, it stages up to fifteen productions a year in its 500-seat Main Auditorium or its Studio Theatre, with every show produced entirely by its members on stage, backstage and front of house. It does not receive public funds, with the majority of revenue coming from ticket sales, and it has been fundraising to invest in its building, stage-management system and stage lighting.
