Since it opened in 1975, The Gordon Craig Theatre has been wowing audiences from Stevenage and across the home counties with the huge variety of entertainment it offers. The 501-seat auditorium offers theatre-goers an unrivalled range of performances to choose from, including plays, pantomimes, opera and dance recitals, as well as one-night variety-music shows. Meanwhile, the Concert Hall has an exciting programme of comedy and live music. Jimmy Carr, Jethro, Dionne Warwick and Lesley Garrett are some of the many sold-out performances the 1,200-seat auditorium has played host to. The Gordon Craig Theatre and Concert Hall have something for the whole family!
