Derby Playhouse
Derby Playhouse was a theatre production company based in Derby. It was also the former name of the theatre it owned and operated. The theatre opened in 1975. In 2008, the company ceased and the theatre closed.
The Derby Playhouse company had a national reputation for its productions. It premiered new theatrical works and the regional premieres of others.
In 2009, the theatre was reopened as the Derby Theatre. It is owned and operated by the University of Derby.
In 1948, the original Playhouse opened as the Little Theatre in a converted church hall on Becket Street.
In 1952, the company moved to a venue in Sacheverel Street.
In 1956, it survived a major fire.
In the 1960s and early 1970s the British government invested in the Arts Council of Great Britain's "Housing the Arts" fund. The fund enabled cities to renovate existing theatres and commission new ones. In response, the company formed the New Theatre Trust to fund its own purpose-built theatre. Roderick Ham was commissioned to design the new theatre.
Derby City Council offered the land. This was part of the new Eagle Centre shopping development.
The new Derby Playhouse was opened on 20 September 1975 by the 11th Duke of Devonshire. It had a seating capacity of 535.
In 2002, the company had money problems. It had a debt of £400,000, the biggest in its history, and it nearly closed.
By 2004 it had recovered and was breaking box-office records.
In 2007, the company again ran into serious money problems. The Board of Trustees of the theatre asked Derby City Council to advance £40,000 from their 2008 grant. It was refused. On 29 November, the Board of Trustees of the theatre announced that it was going into voluntary liquidation and that performances would immediately stop.
Nevertheless, the cast and crew of "Treasure Island" put on that evening's performance.
After the curtain call, the cast were joined on stage by the staff, the theatre's chief executive and director of the show (Karen Hebden), and two former chairmen of the Playhouse board (Michael Hall, and Jonathan Powers). They addressed the audience and press and asked them to fight for the city's theatre and get the Playhouse open again.
The following day, the Board of Trustees announced that the company had been put into administration.
The administrators allowed the Playhouse to reopen on 7 December 2007 to finish its run of "Treasure Island".
The theatre was being operated by a skeleton of essential staff, initially working unpaid. A fund was set up to accept donations to keep the Playhouse going. It was now operating as a charitable trust and relied on ticket sales and donations alone. Tickets for a Spring/Summer 2008 season had already been on sale before the closure. They were put back on sale while an appeal was made to the Arts Council. The Arts Council refused the appeal in January 2008. The theatre closed after the last performance of "Treasure Island" on 2 February 2008.
On 30 July 2008, the creditors voted to accept a rescue package put together by the company's new board of trustees.
The theatre reopened on 13 September 2008 with "The Killing of Sister George". This ran until 18 October.
