Cambridge Arts Theatre

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that actor Rolan Bell, who played the dastardly evil Abanazar in our 2021 panto Aladdin, has won the award for 'Best Villain' at The UK Pantomime Association's Pantomime Awards.

Last week the country's pantomime stars, producers, directors (and everyone in between!) gathered at London's Trafalgar Theatre for the annual awards, where 22 awards were handed out - and Rolan came home with the esteemed title of the UK's best baddie!

To celebrate the return of Susan Hill's The Woman in Black, we've gathered together some ghoulishly ghostly tales for your entertainment. Read on (if you dare!)...

The Ghosts of Theatre Royal, Drury Lane

We are thrilled to announce that, as part of our live Spring/Summer 2021 re-opening season, we will be welcoming renowned actor Ralph Fiennes in T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets from Monday 28 June - Saturday 10 July 2021.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Sadly, I am writing to inform you that following the recent Government announcement that Cambridgeshire is to move into Tier 4, we are unable to complete our run of Dame Trott’s Panto Palaver.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I hope you and your loved ones are faring well and managing to make the best of our surreal COVID world.

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.
