The range of productions at this theatre is extensive. From pantomime to Shakespear, from Mercury Company productions to travelling productions, from productions in the main theatre to productions in the studio theatre, from conventional seating layouts to theatre in the round, this theatre has it all.
There are also amateur productions, concerts and comedy catered for in this relatively new theatre. Opened in 1972, the theatre has become a cultural centre in Colchester; it even has its own small art gallery, the Digby Gallery.
