Palace Theatre, Grade II listed theatre in Westcliff-on-Sea, England
The Palace Theatre presents multiple forms of entertainment within its traditional architectural setting, featuring both the main auditorium and the Dixon Studio performance space.
Built by Ward & Ward of London, the Palace Theatre first opened its doors in October 1912 as the Palace of Varieties before changing its name in December.
The Dixon Studio, a separate 100-seat performance space within the theatre complex, supports emerging talents and provides opportunities for experimental productions throughout the year.
The theatre's box office operates Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM, extending until 8 PM during evening performances, with Sunday openings three hours before shows.
During the interwar period, the theatre installed a special projection annexe behind the stage to enable rear projection films due to the steep circle seating arrangement.
