Charles Cryer Theatre, Studio theatre in Carshalton, London Borough of Sutton, England.
Charles Cryer Theatre is a theatre building in Carshalton with a flexible auditorium of 68 to 125 seats that reconfigures based on each show. The interior space works for multiple art forms, from small-scale productions to music concerts.
The building opened in 1874 as a public hall and later served as a roller skating rink and cinema before converting to a theatre in 1991. This transformation reflects how community entertainment needs shifted over more than a century.
The theatre hosts regular performances by local artists and community groups that shape the cultural life of the area. Programming combines drama, music, and workshops that welcome audiences of all ages.
The theatre sits close to Carshalton and Wallington railway stations and reaches easily by several bus routes. Plan your visit ahead since the schedule changes seasonally and some shows have limited seating.
When renovated in 1991, architect Edward Cullinan kept three red brick arches from the original 19th-century structure as the main entrances. These distinctive archways link the modern theatre use to the building's Victorian past.
