Exeter Northcott Theatre
Exeter Northcott Theatre is a 460 seat venue serving Exeter and the heart of Devon from its home on the University of Exeter Streatham campus. They offer a mixed programme of touring theatre productions, contemporary dance, opera, music, comedy and family shows to our catchment of 551,000 homes.
Their aim is to be a creative leader for Exeter and the rest of Devon, offering a highly regarded platform for the best work by emerging and established local, regional, national and international artists. This means that whenever you plan to visit the theatre you will find an exciting mix of the best dance, drama and family theatre, spiced with a healthy dash of comedy, music and personal appearances.
Exeter Northcott Theatre is also committed to developing the workforce of the future by offering training and career development opportunities across the breadth of their work. They also collaborate with Daisi (Devon arts in schools initiative) in a partnership that offers Devon schools the opportunity to work more closely with visiting artists.
An important part of their role is to provide a stage for local community companies and they are proud to host annual visits by Exeter Musical Society, Stage by Stage, Chance to Dance and Wren Music.
They have a close involvement with the University of Exeter's Arts & Culture Strategy which maximises the opportunities on campus for student and public participation in cultural activities and they also offer up their stage to student societies who annually present their work in the theatre; Exeter University Theatre Company, Exeter University Footlights Society, Exeter University Gilbert and Sullivan Society and Exeter University Choral Society and Scholar's Ensemble all perform in the theatre throughout the academic year.
The theatre actively works alongside other venues in Exeter in terms of programming and audience development, to maximise opportunities for audiences to access the highest quality performing arts throughout the city, and have been part of the Exeter Summer Festival, EXEtreme Imagination Children's Literature Festival (Nov 2010), Laugh Out Loud Comedy Festival (January), Vibraphonic Festival(March) and the UK Taiko Festival (June).
They are confident that their ever increasing and broadening audiences will always find something to enjoy and, as ever, they look forward to welcoming you to their lovely theatre and sharing their passion for live performance and hospitality with you.
