For 58 years, the Library Theatre Company has made a major contribution to Manchester’s cultural life.

Founded in 1952, we’ve produced consistently high quality seasons of drama, musical theatre, plays for families, and comedies. We now produce a mixture of contemporary drama and modern classics, with a popular play for families and children at Christmas. Over the past few years we’ve either won or been nominated for over 30 awards in the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards.

In 2010 we moved out of our home in the basement of Central Library to begin our “On The Move” campaign, a three year project consisting of work at The Lowry and one site specific show per year. Since then we have merged with Cornerhouse in an ambitious move to become one company. HOME a brand new purpose built venue will open at First Street in 2014.
