Arena Theatre
Proscenium arch
Thanks to a £2 million Lottery grant and partnership funding from the
University of Wolverhampton, our visitors can now enjoy a superbly compact, reasonably
priced, state-of-the-art complex. Bright and bold in design, it embraces excellent front
of house facilities and two exceptionally relaxing theatres with flexible performing
spaces.
The Arena Theatre seats 150 and is brilliantly deceptive –
seductively drawing its audiences into a more intimate understanding of the play,
surprisingly spacious for dance or ballet, funky and unpretentious for hot music.
Quality programming has always been of paramount importance to the Arena
administration and outstanding professional companies, celebrating drama, dance and music,
will continue to dominate throughout any given season. The Arena also showcases work by
local schools, colleges, students, amateur companies and community events.
