Oxford Playhouse is one of the country’s leading regional theatres. A registered charity, The Playhouse is at the heart of cultural life in the city and region. It has a long-held reputation for presenting and producing high-quality drama, dance, music, comedy and family shows. Countless stars have played on the theatre’s stage including Dames Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, Sir Ian McKellen, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Toby Jones, Niamh Cusack, Rosamund Pike and Ralph Fiennes.
As well as being a home for inspirational performance, The Playhouse is an active charity with artistic, social and educational aims. Through its Open House programme, a dynamic and wide-ranging outreach project, The Playhouse breaks down barriers to attendance and creative learning for thousands of people every year. It works closely with schools across the county to support literacy learning, distributes 2,500 free tickets to those who couldn’t otherwise attend, and works with partners including Age UK and the NHS to deliver inclusive programmes for older people.
The Playhouse is immensely grateful to its core funders Arts Council England, University of Oxford, St John’s College Oxford, and Oxford City Council, as well as the many charitable trusts, foundations, corporate sponsors and individuals who support and sustain the work of the charity. This support helps continue the theatre’s work of presenting and producing world-class theatre; offering inspiring creative opportunities to young people and the next generation of artists; and enriching people’s lives and communities through the arts.
