Sherman Theatre

Sherman Theatre, Performance venue in Cathays, Cardiff, Wales.

Description

Sherman Theatre is a performance venue in Cardiff with a main auditorium holding 474 seats and a studio space for live productions. The building presents both classic works and new Welsh pieces alongside visiting companies of varied kinds.

History

The building opened in 1973 on the University College Cardiff campus as a combined cinema and theatre space. Following major renovations in the 2010s, it was transformed into a dedicated live performance venue.

Culture

The venue stages productions that reflect local stories and welcomes touring companies performing comedy, drama, dance, and musical theatre. Visitors notice how deeply rooted the space is in the Welsh arts community.

Practical

The theatre offers behind-the-scenes tours, workshops, and youth programs including Sherman Sherbets and Sherman Youth Theatre. Visitors should check for current productions and plan for transport to the campus location.

Did you know?

The building was originally fitted with Philips projectors that allowed it to show films and live performances in sequence. This dual function shaped its design for many decades before the early 2010s transformation occurred.
