Intimate civic theatre |
Surrey Street The Library Theatre, c/o Central Library Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 1XZ United Kingdom +44 114 273 4102 |
Situated in Sheffield's Central Library, this small civic theatre with 260 seats has a proscenium stage and a raked auditorium. It is used mainly for amateur productions (lots of musicals and operetta) so it's a good place to see a varying programme of productions. The theatre is also available for hire to any interested group for only £64 per night. Facilities are good and include professional standard lighting and a projection box, but groups have to provide their own technical expertise. If you are going to see a production here, bear in mind that access is down two flights of stairs, and that although wheelchair access is possible, this has to be arranged in advance.

Well-equipped small theatre |
S1 2LG Surrey Street Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 2LG United Kingdom +44 114 272 0142 |
The Montgomery Theatre is a surprisingly well-equipped venue, which is rather bizarrely situated on the third floor of the Sheffield Christian Education Centre. It features a raked balcony and auditorium with 427 seats, and even a raked stage. A variety of performances can be seen here, but this is not a professional theatre, so almost all will be by amateur groups. Groups wishing to make bookings can book for around £340 a night - which includes the services of a professional electrician. Reaching the theatre involves a bit of a climb and there is no disabled access, so the less able-bodied should phone ahead. In view of the Christian philosophy of the Centre, only productions suitable for a family audience are shown here. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Small theatre showing original productions |

This small theatre shows original productions, plays, dance, musicals and lunchtime concerts for around £3. Student productions, put on by Sheffield University Theatre Company, include both old favourites and original work by young playwrights. Performances from local drama and operatic groups are also shown here; recently, these have included Gilbert and Sullivan favourites. Lunchtime concerts include jazz, opera excerpts and musical recitals. The studio is based inside a converted church, which is around 130 years old and situated in the middle of the University complex. The theatre seats 200 people on two levels. The site also contains rehearsal rooms, a workshop and a recording studio. Review © 2007, Wcities |
