REFURBISHED & RE-ENERGISED.
The Arts Theatre is alive with creativity, purpose, and possibility.
CAMBRIDGE NEEDS THE ARTS
Our once-in-a-generation redevelopment project will transform our theatre and reimagine how we connect with audiences, artists and our community.
To mark this ambitious journey, legends of stage and screen — Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Derek Jacobi and Sir Richard Eyre — united in a remarkable film to share why Cambridge needs The Arts, and how you can play your part in the most significant transformation in our 90-year history.
