Dolman Theatre, Community theatre in Newport, Wales
Dolman Theatre is a performance venue in Newport, Wales, with seating for around 400 people. Its programming includes plays, musicals, comedy shows, and dance productions scheduled throughout the year.
The building opened in 1963 as a cinema before being converted into a theatre. This transformation established it as a key performance venue in the city.
