Chichester Festival Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chichester Festival Theatre, located in Chichester, England, is one of the United Kingdom's flagship theatres with an international reputation for quality and innovation. The Festival Theatre, designed by Powell and Moya, opened with much anticipation and to great acclaim by its founder Leslie Evershed-Martin in 1962. Subsequently the smaller and more intimate Minerva Theatre, Chichester was built in 1989.

The inaugural Artistic Director was Laurence Olivier, and it was at Chichester that the first National Theatre company was formed. Chichester's productions would transfer to the NT's base at the Old Vic in London.

The Festival Season runs from April to September and includes productions from classics to contemporary writing and musicals.

During this time the theatre also puts on outdoor promenade performances and organises other festival events including cabaret and comedy nights. A range of events is designed to add to the experience of visiting the theatre, including Platform Events, Family Days and Talks.

The Theatre is currently run as a registered charity is chaired by Lord Young of Graffham.
