Our New Home: The Ritz Theatre
We are thrilled to announce that the Penzance Musical Theatre Company will now be staging its main productions at the magnificent, newly restored Ritz theatre in the heart of Penzance.
For nearly a century, the company has brought joy to audiences in a variety of venues. We have wonderful memories of our time at the Zennor Theatre, but this move to the iconic Ritz marks a huge new chapter for us. It's not just a change of location; it's a step up that will offer both our members and our audiences a truly fantastic theatrical experience.
A New Lease of Life
The Ritz, originally an Art Deco cinema built in 1936, has been lovingly and meticulously restored over the past two years. This beautiful venue has a rich history, and we are so proud to be part of its exciting new chapter. The extensive refurbishment by Merlin Cinemas has transformed the space into a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose venue, with a new stage, professional dressing rooms, and fantastic facilities for both performers and the public.
Benefits for Everyone
For our audiences, the Ritz offers a central and accessible location, a comfortable and stylish setting, and a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy live theatre. For our cast and crew, the new stage and backstage areas provide a professional environment that will allow us to raise the bar on our productions and continue to create truly memorable shows.
Our upcoming Christmas 2025 production of Nativity! The Musical will be our first full show in this incredible space, and we can't wait to share this momentous occasion with you.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new home!
