This week we are celebrating Volunteers' Week 2025! We're missing our volunteers whilst we're closed for redevelopment, but this week Matt and Luna from our Front of House team arranged a special tour of King's College as a thank you for their incredible support throughout the year.

We also asked them about their experiences volunteering, the reasons for giving us their time and the hard work they put in week-in-week-out! Here are some of their thoughts...

We are currently closed to embark on the most ambitious transformation of our theatre in its 90-year history. Visit our dedicated Redevelopment Project website www.artstheatre-redevelopment.com/ for the latest news, behind the scenes information and progress as we transform our auditorium.

Cambridge Arts Theatre is delighted to announce the appointment of a new Chair to its Property Management Trust, as well as the appointment of a new Chair and a team of Trustees to its Theatre Management Trust.

With Christmas just two days away, festive excitement is at an all-time high here at Cambridge Arts Theatre. To celebrate, here's some "panto by numbers" fun facts about this year's show Cinderella...

In total our talented Cinderella cast will perform 65 times… that’s 8,450 minutes of panto madness!

Our incredible costume team and in-house wardrobe duo have stitched, pinned and perfected a whopping 86 costumes for the entire show.

This October we welcome Black is the Color of My Voice, for two special performances.

Black is the Color of My Voice is an acclaimed play by Apphia Campbell, performed by Nicholle Cherrie, inspired by the life and music of Nina Simone and features some of her great songs performed live. 

Following the news of Dave Murphy stepping down as CEO after 21 years, we are delighted that Rachel Tackley and Victoria Beechey will be jointly taking on the roles of Interim Co-Chief Executives of Cambridge Arts Theatre.

Cambridge Arts Theatre today announces that Dave Murphy is stepping down as CEO after 21 years. 

Dave Murphy said today, “In light of the recent news of the transformational gift from the Gatsby Foundation for the refurbishment of our main auditorium and the Theatre shifting towards the implementation phase of the capital project, I have decided that with the future of the Theatre secured it is now the right time for me to step down from my role.”

English Touring Opera will be arriving at Cambridge Arts Theatre in just a few weeks with two fantastic operas: Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress and Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. We had a chance to chat with cast members Edward Hawkins and Amy J. Payne about both shows and the importance of opera today.

With Murder in the Dark opening next week, we caught up with Holby City/Strictly Come Dancing star Tom Chambers to talk about the show, his career and his role as Danny Sierra.
