Connaught Theatre
Proscenium arch
The Connaught Theatre was built in 1914, but was originally called the Picturedrome.
For 20 years it was an early cinema, until 1935 when the Worthing Repertory Company
outgrew its own premises and came in to the venue, bringing with it the name Connaught
Theatre.
The original Connaught Theatre was what is now known as the
Connaught 2-Screen Cinema. The company added a stage and fly tower, and the venue began to
trade as a theatre. In 1987 projection facilities were added and a full cinema programme
now runs alongside the live shows.
