Venue information
Lichfield Garrick is a purpose-built theatre in Lichfield, Staffordshire. The theatre presents its own productions as well as touring shows. It forms a part of the local theatre community and is used by amateur companies for musicals and plays. It has been open since 2003 and has two creative spaces: the main auditorium which seats 562 people and the Studio which seats 157 people.
The current theatre was used to replace the old Arts Centre and Civic Hall, which was the main theatre venue until then. The £5.5 million project was completed in 2003. The architect Alan Short designed the building to include modern theatrical features such as a fly tower, and a natural ventilation system which is an award-winning architectural highlight.
Lichfield Garrick plays an important part in the local creative community, running programmes such as The Garrick Community Choir, The Garrick Youth Theatre and The Morning Chorus. The theatre operates separate to the local council, as a charitable trust.
The first production held at the Lichfield Garrick was The Recruiting Officer, which was directed by Corin Redgrave. Since then the theatre has been home to many successful productions such as Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? starring Matthew Kelly and Tracey Childs. The theatre presents a broad programme, including an annual Christmas pantomime.
