From the Wikipedia article

The Rondo Theatre is a performing arts theatre in Bath, England that was established in 1989. The theatre is located in the former church hall of St Saviour's Church, Larkhall. The building was purchased in 1976 by Doreen and Wilf Williams, who subsequently founded The Rondo Trust for the Performing Arts and converted the building into a 105-seat theatre.

The theatre also maintains an active programme of outreach activities, including a youth theatre, a scriptwriters group, theatre workshops, and afternoon tea concerts.
