Little Theatre (Leicester)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little Theatre is a small theatre in Leicester, England with a main auditorium of 349 seats, along with an additional studio space for performances and workshops. The Theatre also houses an interval bar, rehearsal spaces and library for members, and operates a costume hire facility. A youth theatre group also operates for ages 8-12, and 13-18.
The theatre is home to the Leicester Drama Society, and the programme primarily showcases plays from the resident amateur theatre company as well as hosting some professional acts and wider community groups, usually for short runs or one night events, particularly during the Leicester Comedy Festival. Prunella Scales, William Roache, Topping and Butch and Charles Dance have all recently appeared in events at the theatre.
Leicester playwright Joe Orton and actor Richard Attenborough are both former alumni from the society. It is believed that Attenborough made his stage début at the theatre at the age of three.
