Don't miss your chance to see our production of King Lear for as little as £1 with a ticket to the Public Dress Rehearsal on Friday 28 August at 7.15pm!

Public Dress Rehearsals are a wonderful and exciting opportunity to experience a Sheffield Theatres production ahead of the opening night. They are a pivotal moment for the cast as they work to refine their performances in a final run through - and they are an exciting opportunity for audiences to see a production in the final stages of rehearsal.

Tickets for the Public Dress Rehearsal are exchanged for a suggested minimum donation of £1 and are available from 10am on Fri 28 August either in person from the Crucible Box Office or by calling 0114 249 6000.

Congratulations to Sheffield Theatres Youth Theatre on their first ever performance, The Trip! 👏

A class of students embarked on a coach trip to the sunny seaside town of Cleethorpes, but not everything went quite as expected...

Staged in the Playhouse earlier this month, the performance was co-developed and performed by the group.

STYT is our theatre company for children and young people of Sheffield, designed to spark imaginations and develop skills in theatre and performance.
