Our History
With over sixty years of creativity, we continue to evolve.
Chelmsford Theatre has existed in one shape or form for over sixty years now. From its beginnings as a multi-purpose venue known as the Assembly Hall, to the addition of the studio in the early 1980s and post its first makeover to breathe life back into the front of house spaces, Chelmsford Theatre has been an essential part of the City’s cultural heart.
Work with us
We recognise that the success of the Theatre depends on its people. There is a wide range of exciting roles here, from front of house and customer relations, backstage and technical, to community outreach and marketing.
