Theatre in the round
Exeter Northcott Theatre has a 464 seat raked auditorium starting at stage level and working upwards and away from the stage.
The Stage has a proscenium arch stage with a hardwood floor covered in oil tempered hardboard, painted black.
Forward of the setting line is a semi-circular mechanical orchestra pit that, when down, can house 22 musicians and when up forms a large apron.
The auditorium and stage can be configured as a theatre in the round and has also successfully been used to present small-scale work with the audience seated on the stage or in the lower section of the auditorium.
The Exeter Northcott Theatre is a counterweight house with 22 flying bars. The stage is served by a 6 metre tall, 3.5 metre wide scene dock USC (up stage centre) that is the appropriate height for an articulated truck to unload without the need for a ramp and allows for direct, level access to the stage.
The theatre is located on a one-way system at the heart of a busy University campus and HGVs parked on our loading bay block the road. This means that there are strict restrictions on arrival and departure times, please read the transport guidelines if you will be arriving with a large vehicle.
The theatre has 2 large and 2 small dressing rooms, shower facilities and a wardrobe area with washing machines and driers.
