The CochraneTheatre is a proscenium arch theatre in the centre of London with an audience capacity of 314 which was built in 1963 by London County Council, who were persuaded by Jeannetta Cochrane of the need for a Theatre for use by Theatre Design students at Central School of Art.
In the last 18 months The Cochrane has seen its audience figures rise by 50% together with increasing critical success as Time Out's critic choice for Swollen Tongues and Guardian four star reviews for Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.
CTC is a receiving house which aims to present all aspects of the performing arts within a proscenium arch.
The CochraneTheatre opened in 1964, and is named after Jeannetta Cochrane, who founded the theatre.
The theatre was built onto the Central School of Arts and Crafts, and is now owned by the University of the Arts London.
The theatre is used as a tool for MA students, and shows productions from students graduating in theatre design for performance, scenography and drama.
