number of studios are based at Hatfields:

  • the Courtyard Studios (six large rehearsal spaces, a radio studio and a screening room)
  • the Dance Studio (which provides first-class facilities for ballet, jazz and other movement work)
  • the Radio Studio (equipped for the recording of radio plays and voice-over work)

The Corbett Theatre

The Corbett Theatre was built inside a medieval tithe barn and is used extensively for student productions. Named in honour of Harry H Corbett, a key Theatre Workshop member and early benefactor of East 15, this medieval building was dismantled and transported to Hatfields in the 1960s.

These unusual origins create a unique performance space with a special atmosphere. With full technical facilities, tiered seating for 125 people and fitted dressing rooms, the theatre provides an excellent resource for public productions. Lectures, rehearsals and technical classes also take place here, while the adjacent theatre foyer bar and cafe provides a social meeting point for you to use.
