We've dug through the theatre's archive to uncover some hidden gems... Here's a photo of St Edward's Passage back in 1957, which was kindly sent to us by a customer.
This photograph was taken by Lionel Harris. It won first place in the Maidenhead Photographic Society's monthly competition.

Our Technical team accepted a very exciting delivery last week... New lighting equipment for our soon-to-be transformed auditorium! 👏
This is a MAC Viper XIP, a movable light that we can use for general lighting and follow spots, and as you can see from the background - the delivery was a big one!

Recently our Boxes have been dismantled, and panelling was removed. Buried behind the panels our team discovered blue decorative wallpaper, which we believe is from the 1930s!

The power of social media! After announcing our Time Capsule project, a follower (who worked here during the 1990s) told us about a time capsule they'd hidden during a previous refurbishment, which we had no idea about! We chatted, dug through an archive... and here it is.

Guess what? We're hiding a time capsule! 🎭✨
To celebrate our incredible redevelopment project we will be placing a time capsule underneath the auditorium seating in our newly redesigned Circle, in the hope that it'll remain unseen and be discovered in decades to come.

Yesterday was a big day for our redevelopment project... the steelwork for our stunning new balcony arrived!
The redesigned Circle will feature an elegant, curved balcony front. With the steel now on-site, things are about to move quickly - we can't wait to see the transformation take shape.

It was good to show Daniel the extensive renovation work underway at @camartstheatre.bsky.social and to discuss ambitious plans for a second auditorium. Great to have enthusiastic support from our MP.
Last week we welcomed Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner for a special visit to explore our exciting redevelopment.
A strong advocate for arts and culture, Daniel has actively supported arts initiatives, ensuring their sustainability for future generations 👏 shorturl.at/3vWPO
