This is an impressive modern building situated on a hill-top outside the town, and housing several spaces devoted to theatre performances. The largest of these is the Anthony Hopkins Theatre. The three other venues are the Emlyn Williams Theatre, which has a square acting area, and a narrow gallery on four sides, Studio 2 and the multi-function Clwyd Room (up to 300). There is also a 120 seat cinema and art galleries.The main auditorium has a single steep rake. There are two front-stage lifts which can be lowered to produce an orchestra pit at the loss of two front rows of seats, or raised to extend the acting area. There is no sub-stage machinery.
