About the Theatre
The aim of the Nottingham Arts Theatre is to be a community theatre for the people of Nottingham. It strives to offer "opportunities for all" in the performing arts. NAT was established in July 2001 by members of the former Co-Operative Arts Theatre Club, who raised the funds to purchase the building and assets from The Co-Operative Wholesale Society.
It is a registered charity governed by a Board of Directors. Although the theatre does have paid employees, the majority of the work is done by unpaid volunteers. NAT has its own in-house theatre company which presents a season of plays, musicals, and pantomime. We also stage joint productions with other theatre companies as well as hire the theatre out to other companies, both amateur and professional, from all sections of the artistic community. The main source of income for the theatre is from the in-house and visiting productions; we do however gratefully acknowledge the support we receive from ACE, Arts and Business, Nottingham City council, and private donations.
To read the vastly interesting history of this unique theatre please look at our history page.
Comments from a recent audience survey included:
"Quality of the productions is excellent!"
"Excellent value for money"
"Makes an outstanding contribution to the cultural life of the city"
"Keep up the good work!"
"Marvellous!"
Why not join us then, as an audience member or active member, and help us continue offering entertainment and opportunities for all!
In addition to our resident company's productions, we are also host to a number of visiting dance, theatre and operatic companies.
These are exciting times for the Nottingham Arts Theatre and we very much look forward to welcoming you as a member of our audience, a season ticket holder or an active member.
