The building features a central 290-seat auditorium alongside three 70-seat spaces and one 40-seat room for diverse performances and events.

The theater opened in 1972 as Manchester Young People's Theatre through collaboration between Barry Sheppard and Professor Hugh Hunt of Manchester University.

The institution presents dance, music, poetry, spoken word, hip-hop, and visual arts performances, focusing on young artists and their creative development.

The venue offers multiple rental spaces for ceremonies and events, with bookings available through phone number 07776 511 249 or email at hires@contactmcr.com.

A 1999 renovation by architect Alan Short incorporated energy-efficient design elements while maintaining the original structural character of the building.
