Putney Arts Theatre, Community theatre in Putney, London
Putney Arts Theatre is a community theatre in Putney featuring exhibition spaces and dedicated performance areas. Two resident theatre groups present plays, musicals, and readings throughout the year within these facilities.
The theatre was founded in 1964 and established its permanent home in the Old Union Church building from 1968. A Lottery grant in the 1990s enabled it to acquire ownership of the building.
The venue hosts two established theatre groups that regularly present performances for both adults and children. The two companies operate from the same building, creating a shared community of theatre-makers across different age groups.
The theatre is located on Ravenna Road in southwest London and provides performance spaces alongside rehearsal rooms. These spaces are available for hire by community groups and private events.
The building was originally a church and was later converted into a theatre. This transformation gives the space a distinctive architectural heritage that remains visible in its design today.
