The Belgrade Theatre was the first civic theatre to be built after the war and was opened in March 1958, part of a large scale re-development of the City of Coventry.Now an English Heritage grade II listed building, the Belgrade acquired its name in recognition and thanks for a gift of timber from the Yugoslav city of Belgrade that was used extensively in the construction of the auditorium.

Expanding what we do

The community and education role of the Theatre widened with the creation, in 1965, of the first Theatre in Education (TIE) company in the world, which was the impetus for the founding of the TIE movement.Members of the Belgrade company went on to other theatres and spread the word about this new theatrical form, of which the Belgrade TIE company remained a key exponent.In the late 60s the Belgrade studio opened across the road in Bond Street with a capacity of 70 - 100, creating a intimate performance space, ideally suited to stimulating the creativity of writers, director and actors.In 1967, the Belgrade Youth Theatre�was founded and performed their first production, Mad Mike.

The NinetiesThe nineties began with a year of record breaking attendances, making the Belgrade the fourth most-attended theatre amongst all the Arts Council funded venues.In The Midnight Hour played to record breaking audiences and then toured nationally, whilst the studio re-opened with a succession of acclaimed plays, a number of which also performed in London and at the Edinburgh Festival.The first Coventry Community Play In Search of Cofa's Tree launched a whole new approach to work with local people that makes the Belgrade a national leader in the field.The Belgrade continued its commitment to new writing, joining Stagecoach a West Midlands initiative to develop new plays and producing a number of premieres including Bill Gallagher's Peggy Buck and a new adaptation of Dicken's Martin Chuzzlewit by Sally Hedges.Notable productions in the mid 1990s include A Pair of Blue Eyes, a world premiere of a musical adaptation of Raymond Briggs' Fungus the Bogeyman directed by Ken Campbell, Whole Lotta Shakin' a new musical about Jerry Lee Lewis, a co-production of Calamity Jane and Wakey Wakey - in bed with Billy Cotton, a new show by Richard Cameron about the life of the bandleader.In January 1996 Bob Eaton joined the Belgrade as Theatre Director and developed the 'made in Coventry' brand.
