Aberdeen Arts Centre, Arts centre and theatre in Aberdeen, Scotland
Aberdeen Arts Centre features a 350-seat auditorium within a Category A listed building on King Street, complete with upper and lower galleries for performances.
The facility opened in 1963 after converting the North Parish Church, with the Attic Theatre Company presenting the first pantomime performance of McWhittington.
The centre maintains programs through Castlegate Theatre Company, offering classes for writers, illustrators, and actors while hosting touring productions and festivals.
The venue provides four flexible spaces beyond the main theatre, equipped with audiovisual equipment, projectors, screens, and sound systems for various events.
In 1998, the centre survived a closure threat when activist Annie Inglis gathered 14,500 signatures, leading to the formation of Castlegate Arts Limited.
