New Theatre Oxford is the main commercial theatre in Oxford and has a capacity of nearly 1,800, making it the largest live entertainment venue in the region. Located on George Street, the site has been home to three successive theatre buildings over more than 190 years - each carrying the name “New Theatre”. The first building was constructed in 1836, and was a Music Hall known more commonly as the 'Vic', and then later as the “Theatre Royale”. This building was replaced in 1886 which became the home of the Oxford University Dramatic Society, with a capacity of 1000. This theatre was sadly damaged by a fire in 1892 but was altered and enlarged in 1908 bringing the capacity to 1200. From 1908, the Dorrill family - who had been involved with the theatre since 1886 - took over its management. In 1933, Stanley Dorrill commissioned the current building, with the ambition of creating “the most luxurious and comfortable house of entertainment in England.” It was designed by the Milburn Brothers, who also designed other theatres within the ATGE family, including the Sunderland & Liverpool Empire theatres. The present theatre was opened in February 1934, and is the largest theatre to sit on the site. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and strive to provide a stage for everyone. Onstage and off, we hold ourselves accountable for nurturing an inclusive culture. Find out more about us and our values at ___ and ___ Salary: £31,844.96 pro rataClosing Date:
