Dolman Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dolman Theatre is one of the theatres in the city of Newport, South Wales in the United Kingdom. It is part of the Kingsway Shopping Centre building in the city centre. It is owned by the Newport Playgoers Society who have been one of the leading amateur theatrical companies in Wales since being formed in 1924. The Dolman, however, was purpose-built in 1967 and replaced an older theatre housed in a converted church. Upgrades to the exterior of the building were carried out in 2005, with a new glass frontage near the main road.

The theatre has a 400-capacity auditorium, three large rehearsal rooms and a 60-seater studio.
