Northern Stage, Newcastle upon Tyne, Theatre in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
Northern Stage is a theatre on Newcastle University's campus in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, with three performance spaces of different sizes and layouts. Each space is set up for a different type of production, from larger staged shows to smaller, more experimental formats.
The building opened in 1970, designed by architect William Whitfield in a style typical of public buildings of that era. Over the decades, it was renamed and updated to meet the changing needs of the productions it stages.
Northern Stage is known for programming work connected to the North East of England, often from writers based in the region. The audience regularly encounters stories rooted in the everyday life of Newcastle and its surroundings.
The theatre sits on Newcastle University's campus, close to the city centre, and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. There is a cafe bar inside the building, open before performances, where you can get coffee and snacks.
Northern Stage is registered as a charity, which means a share of its income goes directly into education programs for young people. Some school groups that visit are seeing a live theatre performance for the very first time.
