The Playhouse Whitley bay is a stunning contemporary theatre, with a 638 seat auditorium and based in the coastal resort of Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear.

Having undergone a major and completed refurbishment by North Tyneside Council in 2009, this stunning contemporary theatre boasts an elegant glass foyer, front of house facilities, box office and bar facilities; in addition it also features a redesigned auditorium, new company room and chorus rooms.

The transformation of the venue, situated on Marine Avenue, is a key part of North Tyneside Council's £64million regeneration programme for Whitley Bay. It has also become an integral part of the local community programme, regularly playing host to productions from local artists.
