OFF STAGE at Theatre Royal Brighton

OFFSTAGE at Theatre Roy al Brighton

Theatre Royal Brighton has been at the centre of arts, culture and entertainment in the city for more than 200 years.

We believe that the doors of our beautiful theatre should be open to everyone in our community. Alongside the fabulous productions that appear on our stage we present a whole host of exciting, unusual and engaging events OFFSTAGE that bring all sorts of people into the building to watch, participate and enjoy the magic of theatre.
