Backstage Tour of The Old Rep Theatre

Explore this beautiful Grade II listed theatre, bursting with stories from over a century of theatre magic. As the UK’s oldest repertory theatre, The Old Rep has a special place in the history books and has been a fixture of the Birmingham cultural landscape since 1913. 

Experience the stirring atmosphere of a classic theatre auditorium, tread the same boards as Laurence Olivier, Derek Jacobi, Michael Gambon and Peggy Ashcroft, and take a peak behind the curtain at the backstage areas usually off-limits to the public. 

Now managed by The Crescent Theatre, The Old Rep regularly hosts some of the country’s most celebrated comedians, actors and artists.

How to get there:
By Train- Birmingham New Street is our nearest station, accessed by the Southside entrance. The Old Rep is just a 10 minute walk from Moor Street and 12 minute walk from Snow Hill. 

Organised by The Old Rep Theatre and The Crescent Theatre Limited
