The Theatre on the Steps in Bridgnorth came into existence in 1964.
The Congregational Chapel, halfway down Stoneway Steps, was transformed into a theatre by the local amateur dramatic society in 1964.
The Theatre has 182 seats, 118 in the stalls and 64 in the Balcony.
The theatre offers a wide variety of drama, music and comedy, with its own company of actors and singers mounting several productions including the annual pantomime. The rest of the programme is filled by visiting theatre companies, bands, comedians and artists as well as being hired out for events.
Over the years the theatre has been privileged to host performances from many household names: Honor Blackman, Kiki Dee, Paul Jones, George Melly to name but a few!
The theatre is staffed by a small team and is reliant on an incredible team of volunteers. Theatre on the Steps does not receive any contributions to its running costs from the Art's Council or local government, and financially depends solely on the profit it makes from the shows it stages to keep the theatre running and to pay the majority of the refurbishment costs.
We welcome over 12,000 visiotrs each year, and we draw our audience not only from Shropshire, but also the West Midlands and Worcestershire, plus more and more people from around the country who come to stay in Bridgnorth specifically to see a show at the Theatre on the Steps.
