Birmingham Rep has unveiled a new £2.87m look to its historic home on Centenary Square—50 years on from when the theatre first opened its doors.
A new front entrance, terrace, cafe, bar and restaurant spaces complement the original RiBA award-winning 1971 design of the building.
Rachael Thomas, executive director of Birmingham Rep, said, “we’re now able to welcome visitors direct from the recently reimagined Centenary Square and ensure an accessible, high-quality theatre-going experience for all who visit Birmingham’s only première producing theatre.”
Mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street added, “it’s wonderful to see the fantastic transformation of the Rep which continues to be such an important institution and destination in our city. I hope countless new visitors and audiences will now come and enjoy everything this brilliant theatre has to offer.”
