about nvt
NVT was founded in 1947. For ten years the company was nomadic,
performing in a wide variety of halls and theatres. In 1956, it
took a lease on the first floor of Christchurch Schoolrooms, Bedford
Place -- when its 100-seater proscenium arch theatre was built.
In 1983 the trustees of the company decided to buy the freehold
of the premises and added an 80-seater studio theatre on the ground
floor. In the autumn of 1999, the third main space in the building
-- the South Hall -- was refurbished. Apart from being a more inviting
place for members and audiences to meet and enjoy drinks from the
bar, the new South Hall is also used as a cabaret-type venue.
NVT is a community theatre, committed not only to achieving the
highest standards on stage, but also to cultivating original work.
