Theatre on the Steps - Bridgnorth’s Hidden Gem
For over 60 years, Theatre on the Steps has been bringing people together through the power of live performance.
Nestled halfway down Bridgnorth’s historic Stoneway Steps, our much-loved venue is one of Shropshire’s most distinctive theatres - a beautifully converted chapel where heritage, creativity and community meet.
Today, we present a vibrant year-round programme of drama, comedy, music and special events. Alongside welcoming outstanding visiting artists and companies from across the UK, we also create our own original productions right here in Bridgnorth.
With two intimate performance spaces - our 182-seat main auditorium and the Old Green Room - we welcome more than 12,000 visitors each year for memorable live experiences in a truly unique setting.
But Theatre on the Steps is more than a venue.
We are a creative home for our community, offering opportunities for people of all ages to take part onstage, backstage and behind the scenes. Through our Youth Theatre and Artist Development Programmes, we support the next generation of performers, makers and storytellers. Our thriving community theatre company stages productions throughout the year and welcomes new members of all experience levels to take part free of charge. All of this is made possible by a dedicated volunteer network and a small, passionate team.
As one of the few producing theatres in rural Shropshire, we are proud to play an important role in keeping ambitious, accessible live theatre thriving in the region.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time, performing with us, or returning as a familiar face, you’ll always receive a warm welcome at Theatre on the Steps.
