The Theatre Chipping Norton

The façade in 2006

The Theatre Chipping Norton, sometimes The Theatre, Chipping Norton, is a multi-arts theatre, cinema, gallery and music venue in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England.[1][2]

The proscenium arch theatre has 217 seats including stalls and a balcony. Over 55,000 patrons attend annually.[3] It is one of the UK's smallest producing theatres.[4]

History

The main auditorium was originally a Salvation Army citadel, built in 1888.[3] After some years as a furniture warehouse it was bought by two RSC actors in 1968 and fundraising began in 1973, the theatre was registered as a charity in 1974, and it opened as a theatre in 1975.[3] It acquired adjoining properties to provide space for bar, gallery, green rooms, offices and rehearsal space, and underwent a major refurbishment in 1996 with Arts Council England assistance.[5]

Productions

The theatre produces original shows and hosts touring companies; in 2016 it co-produced with The Dukes a 20th-anniversary touring production of Stones in His Pockets.

It prides itself on its annual, original "world-renowned traditional family pantomime".[5][6][7] There are usually up of one hundred performances a year.[3] The former Goody and I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue panellist Graeme Garden wrote several pantomimes for The Theatre during the 1980s. [8]
