New Vic Theatre

Introduction

Opening in 1986 as Europe’s first purpose-built theatre-in-the-round, the New Vic has a special role to play in the architectural heritage of theatre development. We recognise our responsibility to provide tangible returns for the public investment we receive, and therefore seek through all our work to help make the local community a better, safer and more inspiring place to live and work.

We explore new and exciting theatre through a continued programme of investment in artistic development. Our busy programme includes both award-winning, in-house work and touring productions.

Theatre-in-the-round is a democratic ideology, it radiates through all our work ensuring that the local communities of Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent have a sense of ownership and engage with the theatre at every level. As one of only a few local arts organisations, our award-winning New Vic Borderlines, and New Vic Education ensure we are key to the cultural life of the region. Alongside this the theatre leads, Appetite, an Arts Council England Creative People & Places programme, to engage more people in Stoke-on-Trent in the arts. We are committed to increasing aspiration, empowering communities to tackle complex social issues and making a real difference in an area that experiences serious deprivation.

Other recent achievements include becoming the first building-based theatre company outside London to become a National Theatre Studio Affiliate and receiving critical acclaim for our productions of Around the World in Eighty Days and Dracula.
