The Theatre is available for hire, both for performances and by other community groups or individuals for your event, subject to availability.
Looking to bring your show to The Little Theatre?
In summary, we're a traditional level proscenium venue that seats 70 in the standard configuration. We have modern technical facilities, plenty of backstage space and two decent-sized dressing rooms, limited flying capabilities, and expertise on hand to help make your production run smoothly. If this sounds like a space that would suit your production, please take a look at our Tech Spec for more information and get in touch with the Theatre Manager or our RSM.
We can typically accomodate visiting companies either on a box split or buy out basis. We also work closely with North East Arts Touring and The Touring Network, and you can find us on Tourbook.
More information for touring companies can be found here.
The Little Theatre could be the perfect space for your event. We have a comfortable auditorium that seats 70 'theatre style' on raked seating and can be configured in other ways.
The Theatre has been used for small presentations, conference-type events, as well as meetings (such as AGMs) of local businesses and membership-governed organisations.
We have modern lighting and sound facilities, as well as bright, vivid, video projection. We can arrange catering, and have a dedicated team of volunteers to make sure your event goes according to plan.
For commercial hirers, we also work with a team of local professional technicians, freelancers, and hire companies to deliver whatever your event needs.
Get in touch for more information or to arrange to view the space.
Nairn Drama Club is exceptionally fortunate to be able to call The Little Theatre our home, but we welcome others who want to put on a show even if you're not a professional company!
We can provide a space for your show or production, promote it alongside our own on our website and other marketing channels, and provide the technical equipment and experience needed to help you bring your show to our theatre.
Regrettably, scheduling constraints usually mean The Little Theatre is not suitable as a rehearsal space (other than for your tech and dress of course!) but we'd love to have you perform on our stage, so please get in touch.
The Little Theatre is quite well suited to small informal cinema screenings, but we are not a cinema. Please see our technical specification for more details.
Notably, we currently have 2.1 sound and do not have the ability to play encrypted DCP.
Screening of any commercial film (with or without a paid audience) will usually require a Single Title Screening License, you will be responsible for the cost of this and any other licensing required. You will also have to provide the film in a suitable format (Clear DCP, Digital File (Prores, H265 etc), or Blu-Ray). Digital formats are preferred.
Whatever your plans, whatever your idea, if you think we can help or provide a venue for your show / event please contact hire@nairnlittletheatre.org.uk with your intended dates and a bit about what you are looking to do
