Facilities

The three main performance spaces at Cranleigh are well-equipped and are suited to a variety of performance styles.

SPEECH HALL The Speech Hall is the largest and oldest performance space in the School. This large hall is equipped with a full-sized stage and a large auditorium that is often used as part of the playing area. The Speech Hall can seat up to 500 people and is the main venue for the largest-scale School productions. This venue is also used for the House Performance Evenings.
VIVIAN COX THEATRE The Vivian Cox Theatre (known as the VCT) is a small studio theatre that seats 90 in a horseshoe arrangement. This intimate theatre was completed in 1991 and is a popular venue for a wide range of theatrical productions. It is where all the House Plays are performed and is also the venue for the Junior School Production.
DRAMA STUDIO The Drama Studio is the smallest and also the most versatile performance space and it is used as a teaching space as well as a performance space for Curriculum Drama. Designed to be a ‘Black Box Studio’, it was converted in the summer of 2008 and as it is a new space we are still experimenting with this exciting facility.
