Cornerstone Theatre
Sutton-in-Ashfield, UK
SRTC are working with Ashfield District Council to transform the Sutton Community Academy Theatre (in Sutton-in-Ashfield) into a venue fit to stage professional performances. The existing auditorium will be entirely refurbished and will include retractable seating and improved lighting. Renamed as the Cornerstone Theatre, SRTC are also working on designs for new dressing rooms, a green room and refurbished toilets. The existing stage engineering systems will be replaced with a new counterweight system. And the stage lighting systems and audio-visual systems will be modernised with new power control system and technical infrastructure. With its retractable seating, the theatre will have a multi-purpose format that can be used for the school and for community functions. Having worked on the project since RIBA stage 1, the team are currently in RIBA Stage 5/6.
