Act 1 Theatre will be upgrading our stage in the coming months, if you are, or know someone who is interested in the exciting stage please contact us by email/ mobile or private message here… the changeover will occur on early September.

The stage is a solid timber construction segmented into 20 pieces which are :-
1.2 metre by 2.4 metre and .31m high.

The pieces are very sturdy construction some of them are a little bit worn on an edge or two but generally most of it is still a usable stage. 

It’s best suited to permanent installation, which is the main reason we are changing to something of a lite weight construction as we find ourselves needing and wanting to reconfigure the stage more and more often.
