Our new facilities include proper dressing rooms, a new theatre office, washroom facilities, a galley kitchen and a multi-use space which will be able to be used as a dance studio (with full mirrors), rehearsal area, overflow dressing room or even a forty-seat studio theatre. And we are proud this has been named THE AUDREY LONGMAN STUDIO.

Brentwood Theatre – the community theatre for Brentwood, Havering and beyond – opened in December 1993 following fifteen years of campaigning and fundraising by a dedicated core of theatre followers who collectively realised that Brentwood was the largest town in England without a dedicated theatre space. Brentwood Theatre aims to provide the people of Brentwood and the surrounding areas with a vibrant, artistically challenging community theatre offering a wide-ranging programme in the performing arts.

Since opening, our popularity has grown and grown. We now regularly see over 15,000 visitors every year, coming along to see our wide variety of productions. Most of our shows are performed by non-professional (‘amateur’) companies who rehearse in local halls, arrange costumes, build scenery etc etc and bring in their finished production to us for your entertainment. Over forty groups regularly use Brentwood Theatre for their shows, and many of them now consider us their ‘natural home’.

Under our events diary, you will be able to find details of shows coming up over the next few months. We generally update show details three times a year, although we may make small changes or add in the odd extra night at short notice so please do check back from time to time. To join our mailing list and/or email list, please send your details and we will keep you updated.

If you are looking to hire the Theatre for one of your own future productions, please call our Production Manager, David Zelly on 01277 230833. We are often booked twelve months or more in advance, such is our popularity, so to secure a date please do give David a call. A small non-returnable deposit will secure your date.

Brentwood Theatre would like to take this opportunity to thank Brentwood Arts Council for all of their support, and especially for funding this brand new website, for which we are most grateful.

Our thanks also go to Richard Williams who has designed this website at minimal cost in support of Brentwood Theatre. Not only has he built a great site, he has come up with many innovative ideas for the problems we threw at him.
