THE ALBANY THEATRE NOW

Proud of what we do… and those who help us do it

The Albany is proud of its home at the beautiful Art Deco theatre in the heart of Coventry and the new studio space staging inhouse and professional touring dance, drama, music and comedy productions.



From exquisite professional ballet companies to fun-packed tribute acts, local community shows to spectacular OffBroadway hits, The Albany’s two theatres play host to dance, drama, music and comedy events both large and small.



The beautiful Art Deco main house theatre is now joined by a brand-new studio space and the new foyer entrance into the spectacular building includes a bar, convivial meeting area and box office with plans to develop the space further to include a café and gallery.



The theatre is now a thriving arts venue. Run as a charity by a professional core staff with assistance from a team of volunteers, the Arts for Life initiative has a burgeoning reputation for providing visitors and local communities alike with a flourishing theatre and music scene that promises to make a valued contribution to Coventry’s UK City of Culture status.



There is now a full programme of performances, events and activities to suit all ages ensuring that the theatre remains a flourishing arts venue for the benefit of audiences and communities throughout the city.



The theatre plays an active role in the cultural life of the city; the Arts for Life initiative encourages participation from volunteers of all ages and abilities – front-of-house, administrative and technical departments all rely on support from the community and the theatre is keen to promote the wealth of benefits for all involved that are evident from engaging in the Arts, whether enjoying the variety of performances on offer or actively contributing to help stage them.



We can arrange tours of the theatre for pre-bookable groups and open during the run of Heritage Open Days for opportunities to see the theatre both in front and behind the scenes.
