Palace Theatre
Théâtre à l'italienne
The Palace Theatre is in the heart of Newark, just off the Market Square.
Built in the 1920s, it has been both a theatre and a picture house over the years. With
600 seats split over two levels, eight exclusive boxes, and dedicated spaces for
wheelchair users, it has recently been redecorated and refurbished, and its new, dramatic
mix of modern and traditional styles is a symbol of the theatre’s approach to the
future.
Currently showing more than 200 live performances a year, with acts
as diverse as ballet, children’s shows, drama, comedy and of course the pantomime,
the Palace also regularly screens art-house, recent releases and classic films.
Members of the ‘Friends of the Palace’, who celebrated their 10 year
anniversary in 2009, receive discounts on many shows and are invited to backstage tours
and exclusive events such as the pantomime press night.
In addition to the
Friends, the Palace has a dedicated team of voluntary support staff; a vital element of
the Palace’s success over the years.
The theatre is so much more than a
place of entertainment. The eclectically-styled, versatile Byron Room is available for
functions, meetings, and small performances, and the theatre’s bar is a flexible
space that can be hired during the daytime.
Polka Dot Theatre run regular
children’s theatre classes and workshops with term-end performances at the
theatre.
