The Crescent Theatre is a multi-venue theatre run mostly by volunteers in Birmingham City Centre. It is part of the Brindleyplace development on Sheepcote Street. It has a resident company, one of the oldest theatre companies in the city, and a founding member of the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain. As a venue, it also hires its three performance spaces to a host of visitors each year, nationally and internationally, both amateur and professional.
In their centenary year, June 2024, it was officially announced that they would be taking over the running of the historic Old Rep Theatre from August 2024, alongside its own theatre complex in Brindleyplace.[1]
