The University of Bedfordshire owns and operates the theatre, which is located within the Bedford Campus of the university. During term time, the venue is used as a lecture hall on weekdays but is available for independent use on evenings, weekends, and holidays. The theatre hosts a variety of plays and performances from groups such as the "Full House Theatre Company."[2]
