Welcome to the Georgian Theatre Royal,

Founder member of Perspectiv, the Association of Historic Theatres in Europe.
Built by actor-manager Samuel Butler in 1788, the Georgian Theatre
Royal was managed by Butler along with his circuit of theatres at Beverley,
Harrogate, Kendal, Northallerton, Ripon, Ulverston and Whitby.
As Britain's most complete Georgian playhouse, we invite you to explore
the theatre, its history and what's on offer. There is something for
everyone: professional productions to suit every taste including music,
comedy, drama, pantomime and dance; workshops and youth theatre classes,
free events in the first floor bar on Mondays, and much more.
Enjoy your virtual visit and we look forward to seeing you at the Theatre!
