About the Loft Theatre Company

The Loft Theatre Company has been producing live theatre in Leamington Spa since 1922. Throughout its history it has worked to professional standards to offer the very best in community-based theatre to Leamington Spa, to Warwickshire and to the wider audience beyond.

The company has earned a strong reputation nationally for the professional quality of productions. It is run almost entirely by volunteers, many of whom have theatrical or academic drama qualifications and experience, who devote their talent, time and energy to the theatre simply because they find it fulfilling.

Each year we produce around nine shows in the main 200 seat auditorium and a smaller number in the 50 seat studio theatre, which doubles as our rehearsal space. Our work covers the range of theatrical styles from classical to modern, tragedy to comedy, farce and musical theatre. Whether you like to be shocked, enlightened or simply entertained, you will find something for you here.

The company is a member of the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain and a registered charity (Charity No 1134863), receiving no regular funding from any external source and supporting itself through box office sales.

The theatre has been at its current site since 1944, although the building dates from the late 1960s when an earlier building was destroyed by fire.

Anyone can come and see Loft shows. Generous discounts are available for concession tickets, students and season tickets. We no longer offer membership through subscription. It is free to be a part of the Loft Theatre Company.

Participation is open to anyone with a contribution to make. There is a wealth of opportunity for talents of all kinds. Casting is by audition and a warm welcome is extended to anyone who wishes to join the company to help in every aspect of our work, on stage, back stage or front of house, engaging in making and delivering high quality affordable theatre.
