ABOUT NEW THEATRE PETERBOROUGH

The theatre was originally built for Odeon Theatres Ltd, as a single screen cinema with seating for 1,752 people. The cinema was designed by Harry Weedon and opened in September 1937.

The Odeon was a successful cinema for nearly 50 years until it finally closed in November 1991 when a new multiplex opened in the town. The cinema then stood empty until 1997 when Peter Boizot MBE bought the building and some adjoining land for a scheme, which included a restaurant and art gallery, and the conversion of the former cinema into a theatre.

The theatre changed hands in 2004, but was closed after a break in and a major fire in 2009, which damaged the stage and part of the stalls. The theatre was later reopened in 2011 for a short while by Stage Live who had repaired and renovated the building in the later part of the previous year, but sadly the theatre was soon forced to close again. The theatre then remained mostly dark, until 2013 when Bill Kenwright LTD staged two successful seasons at the theatre.

Despite failed plans in 2016 to redevelop the site and turn the theatre into luxury apartments, the theatre will finally re-open as the Peterborough New Theatre from September 2019.
