Strode Theatre is a small theatre and cinema in Street, Somerset, England.
The theatre is part of Strode College and provides rehearsal and drama space for students from the college.[1] It received financial support from Somerset County Council, Mendip District Council and Street Parish Council.[2]
It opened on 5 October 1963 with a performance by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.[3]
In 1999 the theatre was expanded with a new foyer, bar and box office along with improved rehearsal space and stage access, at a cost of £750,000 by the Steel, Coleman Davis partnership who received an award for the design.[4] The expansion was funded by the Arts Council England.[5]
The Strode Theatre is named for a 17th-century politician and philanthropist, William Strode (1589?-1666).
