Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating 100 years of student theatre at the University of Nottingham.

This centenary gala showcases the theatre’s archives, unites current students with alumni, and looks to the future of the Nottingham New Theatre. Since 1926, generations have found community through their passion for the arts, building England’s only student-run theatre.


5-6pm: Welcome, food and drink, and opportunity to view archive materials in exhibition (£35 ticket only).

6-8.30pm: Speeches and performances in the Djanogly Theatre, hosted by Charlotte Reay, New Theatre President, and Matthew Bannister (Law 1978), NNT member 1975-78.

8.30-10pm: Networking and a chance to catch up with fellow New Theatre alumni alongside the current committee and New Theatre members.
