The Park Theatre
Standing at 11-13 Clifton Terrace N4 3JP, The Park Theatre will be a new and vibrant arts venue offering two performance spaces:
Seating 200 people, the main theatre will be on two levels (stalls and circle) and three sides, providing an intimate relationship between the audience and the actors.
The flexible studio theatre will seat approximately 80 in a range of different configurations, including traditional ‘end on’, traverse and ‘in the round’.
There will also be a cafe, open during the day, and a gallery wall where artists/photographers will have the opportunity to exhibit their work.
In February this year we held a public exhibition on site. The overwhelming response was that Finsbury Park was in dire need of a cultural hub. The feedback received showed that 98% of people believed the theatre would be of great benefit to the area. Regarding the plans, 95% felt that the design of the building was well considered and that the scale would not impose on the surrounding area.
Presenting a diverse artistic programme, which will include new writing, classics, musicals and a family christmas show, the artistic policy is to produce and receive a broad range of plays that engage, excite and inspire our audiences. Key focuses include:
- Nurturing new companies and artists, providing platforms for their work.
- Providing mentored traineeships for young people to gain professional experience in the theatre.
- Developing ties with the local communities, so we engage with each other on an artistic level.
We are submitting our planning application in mid July and expect a decision in October, when we plan to start work on site. We are planning to open in Spring 2012.
