Macready Theatre, Professional theatre in Rugby, United Kingdom

The Macready Theatre is a 250-seat theatre on Lawrence Sheriff Street in central Rugby, Warwickshire, hosting regular performances. The building features lift access for disabled visitors, a bar area, and a foyer space.

The building originally opened in 1885 as Victorian school classrooms. It was converted into a theatre in 1975 and renamed after William Macready.

The venue carries the name of William Macready, a notable former student of Rugby School, reflecting the town's educational heritage. It draws community members who gather to watch plays, concerts, and family entertainment together.

The venue is accessible to disabled visitors via lifts, making it easy to reach the stage and different levels. Local school groups receive special ticket offers to encourage their participation.

The venue opened to the public in December 2018, becoming the first professional theatre space the town had seen. Before this, the community lacked a dedicated venue for live performing arts.
