Established in 1932, the award-winning Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is one of the largest theatres in London. Situated in the beautiful surroundings of a Royal Park, both its stage and auditorium are entirely uncovered. The theatre is celebrated for its bold and dynamic productions (Carousel, The Turn of the Screw, The Seagull, Porgy and Bess, The Crucible, Henry V), with audiences of over 140,000 each year during its 18-week season. Timothy Sheader was appointed Artistic Director in 2007, and James Pidgeon Executive Director in 2021. Over the past twelve years, the theatre has won seven Olivier Awards, seven WhatsOnStage Awards and four London Evening Standard Awards for productions including Evita, Little Shop of Horrors, The Sound of Music, Hello, Dolly! and To Kill A Mockingbird. The theatre’s ambition of reaching new audiences beyond the Park has seen their productions Crazy for You transfer directly to London’s West End, and Into the Woods to the Delacorte Theatre, Central Park, New York. Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird have toured the UK and Ireland, the latter subsequently transferring to the Barbican for a month-long residency, and their co-production with Chichester Festival Theatre of Michael Morpurgo’s Running Wild toured the UK in 2017. The theatre’s multi-award-winning production of Jesus Christ Superstar played a season at Lyric Opera of Chicago in 2018, at the Barbican in 2019, and returned to Regent’s Park in 2020 as the first West End production to open during the pandemic. The Open Air Theatre’s 2021 season included critically acclaimed productions of Romeo and Juliet and Carousel. For more information visit openairtheatre.com.
