Background
History
The building originally opened as church in 1910, it stopped being used as such in 1964 and came into the ownership of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. For some time, it was used as a venue for local people to receive vaccinations. Between 1995 and 2007, it was home to the council's archives. In April 2013, the East Riding of Yorkshire Council approved planning for the conversion of the building into a theatre, which opened in 2014. The theatre's founder and original artistic director was Vincent Regan, who instead of using Arts Council or Heritage Lottery Fund funding, used sponsorship from local businesses. and the role later went to Richard Avery.
Architecture
The theatre is in a red brick chapel, built in the "English Free" style. It has a seating capacity of 192 with a thrust stage.
