The Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) is a cultural icon of the Yorkshire region, providing accessible, high-quality theatre for audiences worldwide since 1955. Over 100,000 people visit the SJT each year and many more experience its work on tour in the UK and abroad with productions often transferring to New York.

The SJT is Scarborough’s independent theatre and cinema. The building is a beautifully restored 1930s Odeon cinema, home to the famous theatre-in-the-round which was the first of its kind in the world.

 The theatre offers a unique, intimate experience in the renowned theatre-in-the-round as well as the more traditional end-on McCarthy theatre. Cinema screenings and live broadcasts have surround sound. It hosts an extensive programme of first-class drama, music, films, comedy, and live streaming. You can see what’s coming uphere.
