The Retford Little Theatre auditorium has 159 seats in its standard proscenium arch arrangement, and 155 seats when converted to ‘theatre in the round’.
Please note that the theatre is not normally for hire in ‘theatre in the round’ format due to the length of time it takes our volunteer workforce to convert it.
