Opened in 1979 the theatre was operated by The Wolsey Theatre Company, a regional repertory company.
The theatre was known for showing performances of drama, comedy and musical plays and was used almost exclusively as a producing house.
The theatre closed in 1979 but reopened in 2001 and now owned and operated by the New Wolsey Theatre Company.
The New Wolsey Theatre Company is a registered charity with a stated mission of presenting high quality, diverse and accessible work, and operated on a not-for-profit basis.
Under its current ownership, the theatre has emerged as a national leader recognised for the diversity of its audiences; for engaging with a broad cross-section of theatre-going and non-theatre-going communities; for nurturing and developing black and minority ethnic artists; and for its style of actor/musician productions.
