The Crescent is one of Birmingham's oldest theatre companies, operating from a purpose built theatre in the Brindleyplace development. We have a membership in excess of 250 actors, technicians, set designers, etc. and stage upwards of fifteen productions a year. Our theatre has a 340+ seat main house, 120 seat studio theatre, rehearsal rooms and spacious bar.
The Crescent Theatre offers something special to all visitors. Whether you are attending a performance, organising a corporate event, performing at the venue or hiring costumes our staff and members will do all they can to meet your particular needs and make you feel at home.
The MAIN HOUSE can be converted from a traditional proscenium format (capacity 342) to a traverse style (capacity 360). With a full height fly tower, traps provision, generous wing space, an orchestra pit with accommodation for up to 35 musicians and easily accessible get-in, it is an ideal venue to stage large scale work in an intimate atmosphere.
