Cambridge Arts Theatre has been awarded £985,000 as part of the Government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund (CRF), to help face the ongoing challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Since closing its doors in March, it is estimated the Arts Theatre has lost over 97% of its income, with 13 touring productions cancelled and thousands of audience members disappointed due to the current crisis.

Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, Mischief Theatre’s Groan Ups (19 – 24 October 2020) has been rescheduled for Spring 2021. 

Performances will now take place from Monday 5 – Saturday 10 April 2021. 

All tickets remain valid for the equivalent performances and have been transferred automatically. All affected customers have been contacted by email.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I hope you and your loved ones are in good health and good spirits in this lockdown period.

Due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Cambridge Arts Theatre is temporarily closed. We will be updating customers further over the coming days.
 

Here at Cambridge Arts Theatre Trust we are continuing to adhere to the guidelines and advice issued by the British Government and Public Health England regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and we are monitoring the situation very closely. At present, there are no plans to cancel any productions or close our Theatre unless a specific scenario occurs. We will keep you updated on our response as the situation evolves.

With only a few days to go until Cambridge Footlights are on our stage, performer Harry Balden spills all on the creation of last month's Footlights Spring Revue: Crossed Wires! 

‘Stories are important. Stories can be more important than anything. If they carry the truth.’  Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls

Are you a young person with a passion for telling stories? Do you feel the itch to grab a notebook and pen to respond to the world around you? Or do you know a young person aged 10-25 who loves creative writing? 

We are delighted to announce that audiences for our spectacular family pantomime Cinderella raised over £18,000 for selected charities through bucket collections - an outstanding £3,000 more than the year prior! 

To kick start February we are welcoming Downton Abbey star, Elizabeth McGovern, in Theatre Royal Bath's production God of Carnage. Yasmina Reza's play follows two sets of parents who meet to discuss their children's bad behaviour. As the evening progresses, the adult's behaviour begins to mirror their offspring's and soon, the evening turns to chaos. 

Is the Pantomime for everyone? Oh yes, it is!
