A six-storey building for creativity, education and community
We’re excited to introduce Backstage – a brand new space next to our 207-year-old theatre. It will create a home for our groundbreaking employability and education programmes that support our local community, schools and creative practitioners. It will also be a new neighbourhood hub, with a cafe and workspace by day that will transform into a vibrant bar and restaurant at night.
This new building will allow us to:
- Truly embed our work in the local community
- Support creativity and career development through our Clore Learning Centre, Script Library, Writers’ Room and Studio
- Double the number of education, community and artist development participants we work with each year
- Welcome emerging artists from all backgrounds to network and share work
- Make our stage and back-of-house areas accessible for the first time in over 200 years
- Offer an event space for hire with beautiful views of London
We are committed to making it a welcoming space that anyone can use and enjoy, and we cannot wait to welcome you later this year.
