Nottingham Arts Theatre
The Nottingham Arts Theatre is a theatre on George Street in Nottingham, England. It was formerly known as the Co-op Arts Theatre.
It has a seating capacity of 321 in the Auditorium and a newer 50-seat studio theatre. It is operated by a charity and the local acting community. It has seen a few notable entertainers on its stage such as some of the members of Nottingham-based band Dog Is Dead. It also premiered the stage version of Alan Sillitoe's novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. It also stages a pantomime and a youth theatre production annually. A newer tradition is the summer 'Show in a Week' where minors (often from the youth theatre) come and stage a one-night show after a week's rehearsal. It also hosts the Nottingham Gilbert and Sullivan society's productions.
In recent years it has put on shows such as:
- The King and I (2010)
