Support our Project

Cambridge is where centuries of discovery have helped us understand our lives, and where centuries of art and creativity have helped us fill those lives with meaning and joy. Nearly ninety years ago, our founder believed that a trailblazing city deserved a groundbreaking theatre. We stay true to his vision today.

Many generations of amazing performers, writers and producers have found their calling here. We want to give courage, confidence and opportunity to the next. Many audiences have laughed, cried and discovered a lifelong love of theatre here. We want to share that gift with thousands more.

Decades of heavy use put our theatre at risk of closure. With thanks to the wonderful generosity of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, the first phase of our redevelopment project is underway: rebuilding our auditorium and transforming its technical infrastructure.

Phase two will create a new studio space within our historic building. The studio will offer an ambitious and vibrant new programme of performance, and learning and engagement activities for our community. To complete the project, and build a studio space high in our rooftops, we need your support.

Because the world needs Cambridge – and Cambridge needs The Arts.
