This will replace the aging Coliseum Theatre as the town’s space for live performance and will provide a broader and more relevant programme of events and productions aimed to better meet the needs and interests of Oldham’s residents. The new Oldham Theatre site is located in the heart of Oldham’s developing cultural quarter, with aspects onto Union Street and Greaves Street. The space itself will be located on Greaves Street on the site of a former museum between the Post Office building to the north, which faces onto Union Street, a former Quaker Meeting House to the south. This presents an exciting opportunity to engage and collaborate with the surrounding cultural centres, as well as the ability to spill out onto and activate the public gardens. The core components of the redeveloped Oldham Theatre are;  A welcoming main entrance and foyer.  An auditorium with capacity of up to 300 (in end-on configuration).  A dedicated and high specification studio, with average capacity of 120.  Flexible education and community space.  A vibrant main café / bar space – the Garden Room – intended to become a destination for Oldham as a whole, not only theatre visitors.  Comfortable, efficient and accessible back of house, dressing room and green room facilities.  Meeting and administrative spaces for Coliseum staff.
