Jermyn Street Theatre

3121

Theatre in the basement of a 1920s building formerly famous as the Restaurant Le Monsignor (later the Getti Restaurant), situated within what was once the changing rooms for the male staff. It was converted in 1994 by the Society of Theatre Artists and General Entertainers with sponsorship of various kinds from British companies, and in particular from the developer Howard Jameson. In 1997 efforts were further rewarded by a National Lottery Grant. The theatre relies on voluntary staff.

The entrance is through a set of double doors to the left of the restaurant, under a box canopy bearing the name of the theatre and the masks of comedy and tragedy, and down a steep staircase to a small box-office area which leads directly into the 80-seat plain studio theatre. It has a small bar area.
