About Live Theatre

From its base on Newcastle’s quayside, Live Theatre produces work as varied and diverse as the audiences it engages with. To do this it:

•	Creates and performs new plays of world class quality
•	Finds and develops creative talent
•	Unlocks the potential of young people through theatre.

Founded in 1973, the Theatre was transformed in 2007 with a capital redevelopment. The result is a beautifully restored and refurbished complex of five Grade II listed buildings with state-of-the-art facilities in a unique historical setting, including a 160-seat cabaret-style theatre, a studio theatre, renovated rehearsal rooms, a series of dedicated writers’ rooms as well as a thriving café, bar and pub.

Live Theatre is a national leader in developing new strategies for increasing income and assets for the charity. In 2014 the company announced LiveWorks, a £10 million capital development to purchase and develop quayside-fronted land and buildings adjacent to the Theatre, to create a children and young people’s writing centre, a public park and new commercial office space.

LiveWorks will join the award-winning gastro pub The Broad Chare, online course www.beaplaywright.com and The Schoolhouse (office space for emerging businesses), as one of Live Theatre’s creative enterprises designed to increase income.
