Uses for a theatre space

A theatre space could be an ideal space to hold – 

Lectures and presentations: front facing seats, easy access/exit isles, large performance spaces and great acoustics make theatre spaces perfect for large-scale lectures and presentations as theatre command participants focus on the subject at the very front of the room. What’s more, theatre spaces offer specialist lighting and A/V equipment, making showing videos, sharing audio or giving a presentation both meaningful and impactful. 

Business conferences: business conferences are a great way to get different departments together to share in the ethos of your business or brand, share ideas, and motivate employees with guest speakers, presentations and training & development opportunities all in one day. Theatre spaces, supported by smaller ‘break out’ rooms, are perfect for this kind of business event. 

Dance and drama rehearsals: where better to rehearse your next big performance than a real theatre hire? Whether it’s an early stage rehearsal or a dress rehearsal before the big day, hiring a theatre for dance or drama performance practice is a great way to bring a sense of ‘realness’ to the run through – giving players and backstage staff an opportunity to practise in a real theatre before the show. 

Training sessions and team building: especially if you have guest or motivational speakers and presentations planned, theatre spaces can make the perfect hire for business/corporate training sessions and team building days, especially where ‘break out’ rooms can also be offered for discussions, group activities or short breaks throughout the day.
