New Victoria Theatre
The New Victoria Theatre within the Peacocks town centre development area is a major addition to the stock of new theatre buildings.
The auditorium is in three levels with stepped boxes and seats of peacock blue complementing the grey/blue décor. House lighting is predominantly sited above the boxes on the dress and upper circle levels. Sound and lighting is controlled from the rear of the stalls.
There is a well-equipped proscenium arch stage that has an orchestra pit for up to 50 musicians at the cost of twenty-three stalls seats. There is a grid with 60 counterweight lines, and the stage is equipped with a trap. The scene dock area is shared with the Rhoda McGaw Theatre.
Primarily designed as a receiving house the theatre is well-appointed to cater to the needs of visiting companies. The theatre's visitors benefit from an adjacent car park, as it is part of the Peacocks Centre.
