Brentwood Theatre is a flexible, welcoming community theatre in the heart of Brentwood that hosts live performance across drama, dance, music, film and comedy. Alongside its main programme it runs a relaxed, musical-theatre-flavoured open mic night in the foyer, where you can sing your favourite show tune accompanied by a live pianist and grab a drink from the bar. With seating from 113 up to a 299 standing capacity, it's an intimate stage with proper theatre acoustics.
