About Concordia Theatre
Hinckley's 400 seat theatre is run and maintained by a dedicated band of volunteers. The theatre is home to a number of local amateur societies which stage around 30 productions each year. These include; the Amateur Operatic Society, Stanley Opera Company, Hinckley & District Scouts, Community Guild, Broughton Astley Drama Society (BADS), Concordia Youth Theatre (CYT), Tinhatters, New Theatre Players, Pantomime Company and Choral Union.
The theatre was created by the transformation of a disused hosiery factory in order to solve the then Hinckley Baptist Operatic Society's lack of suitable accommodation for their productions in the late 1960s.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:
“The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts.”
—David Hare (b. 1947)
