Richmond Theatre

Richmond Theatre Overview

Richmond Theatre is one of the most beautiful of all the Frank Matcham theatres. Built in 1899 as the Theatre Royal and Opera House and refurbished in 1991, it is now operated and managed by The Ambassador Theatre Group Ltd, renowned for its productions and highly successful management and ownership of theatre venues throughout the country. Established as one of the most successful theatres in the country, presenting a wide range of quality drama, record breaking musicals, opera, dance and family entertainment each year, Richmond Theatre welcomes a quarter of a million theatregoers to over 40 outstanding productions annually, performing for about 49 weeks in each year. We also attract up to 400 young people to education events, workshops and summer school activities each year. Tours of our historic building, the auditorium and stage area are available to the general public (and offered free of charge to Friends and Members). Richmond Theatre acts as a venue for local arts organisations and charities to meet, perform and enjoy the theatre.

Richmond Theatre Creative Learning

'To wake the soul with tender strokes of art'
Alexander Pope (1713)
From the plaque above Richmond Theatre Stage

Our small, but dedicated creative learning team at the Richmond Theatre aims to foster access to and enjoyment of the theatre amongst as wide a cross-section of the community as possible.
We hope to inspire and equip theatre-makers and theatre audiences of the future with a programme founded on collaborations, partnerships and dialogues with a diverse range of people (artists, theatre companies, universities, schools, community workers, young people…).

See the ‘About us’ page for details of the areas our work covers.
