Arcola Theatre
Welcome to the Arcola Theatre
The Arcola theatre runs one of the largest arts engagement programmes in East London, creating many opportunities for the local community.
Since its establishment, it has functioned as an important platform for launching many world-famous theatre actors, playwrights, and artists. It hosts numerous plays, operatic performances and musicals featuring up-and-coming talent, as well as eminent artists.
Every year, the theatre showcases many original works and new age productions, as well as world drama pieces and classics.
It is also on its way to becoming the first carbon-neutral theatrical venue in the world, as part of the Green Arcola project and has won several awards over the years for its contributions to the artistic community.
