In 2011 the curtain will rise on a spectacular New Marlowe Theatre and an exciting new era for lovers of theatre and the arts in the South East will begin.
Built on its existing but extended site in the heart of Canterbury, the New Marlowe Theatre will give Kent the world-class theatre that it deserves, bringing audiences state-of-the-art facilities housed in a stunning contemporary riverside building.
This larger theatre will bring you a programme of bigger and better shows including the major musicals, the best plays, international quality opera, ballet, and classical music as well as bands and rock concerts. .
In an exciting new departure, the expanded theatre will also be home to a second auditorium allowing us to originate our own productions and support the development of new talent across the region, as well as providing a first class venue for community events and productions.
This site gives you all the information you need about this great project, about the shows that the Marlowe Theatre will be bringing you while we are closed and all about how you can play your part in making the New Marlowe Theatre a reality.
