About the Corpus Playroom

The Corpus Playroom is an 80 seat, L-shaped studio space on St Edward's Passage, just off King's Parade in the centre of Cambridge. The Playroom is owned by Corpus Christi College, and the college's drama society, The Fletcher Players, are the resident company. The Fletcher Players originally ran the space, but from 2001 the management of the Playroom was taken over by the Cambridge Arts Theatre.

From the Autumn Season 2011, the Playroom is being managed by the University of Cambridge through the ADC Theatre. Over recent months the Playroom has seen a much-needed redevelopment, with Corpus Christi footing the majority of the £100,000 bill, supported by the ADC Theatre and other donors. The backstage areas and dressing rooms have been significantly improved whilst the front of house has been expanded to include a new box office.

The Fletcher Players remain the resident company of the Playroom, and like the Amateur Dramatic Club at the ADC, are entitled to a minimum number of performance weeks each year. For more information on The Fletcher Players, visit fletcherplayers.co.uk.

The Corpus Playroom provides an intimate space, and the programming has a heavy emphasis on new student writing. We usually present a mainshow at 7.00pm Tuesday - Saturday, followed by a lateshow at 9.30pm. To book tickets for any show, please go to the diary.
