Present
Presently under the directorship of James Barber, the theatre presents a mixed year-round production schedule that includes an annual pantomime. Its scenery workshop builds for Glyndebourne, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Chichester Festival Theatre. A youth department offers regular productions in the Mill Studio and an annual summer musical on the main stage. The wider theatre space is used for arts and functional purposes including art exhibitions and the annual film season feature, and includes a restaurant and bar.
In January 2012, theatre staff discriminated against and ejected long term patrons and their disabled son, after a customer complaint from another theatre goer. As a result, management are presently scheduled to review access procedures, information provided to audience members and provide additional staff training.
