20 March 2020 

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I am sorry to announce that Cambridge Arts Theatre is cancelling all performances until at least Sunday 3 May 2020 due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The shows affected are: An Inspector Calls, A Monster Calls, Million Dollar Quartet, The Cat and the Canary, The Glee Club and English Touring Opera’s Così fan tutte and Giulio Cesare. 

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!

The critics have spoken and the reviews are in for our spectacular family pantomime Cinderella, and the press loved it! Here's what they had to say...

CAMBS TIMES

'Cambridge Arts Theatre's Christmas pantomimes keep getting better every year - so it's no surprise this production of Cinderella is their best - and funniest - yet'
 
'Will have you laughing out loud and dancing in your seat the whole way through' 

Following a sold out run at Hampstead Theatre in 2017, next week the Arts Theatre welcomes Prism starring Robert Lindsay, based on the true story of master cinematographer Jack Cardiff. Ahead of opening night, we delved further in to Cardiff's life to find out how he became one of Britain's greatest filmmakers.
