Salisbury Playhouse

Plays in the Main House are often own or co-produced works, of which there are between eight and ten a year. The Playhouse also houses touring productions and a variety of events as part of the Salisbury International Arts Festival.

The Studio programme is the focus for the theatre's work for and with young people, which includes toured-in work, work from its Youth Theatre called Stage '65, and workshop productions.

The Playhouse's Tesco Community & Education Space and Rehearsal Room opened in July 2007.

In 2018, the charity^[2] which runs the theatre amalgamated with Salisbury Arts Centre and Salisbury International Arts Festival and was renamed Wiltshire Creative.^[3]

The artistic director is Gareth Machin, who was appointed in October 2011, and the executive director is Sebastian Warrack, appointed in October 2012.

As of 2015^[update], the Board of Trustees are Tim Crarer (chairman), Doric Bossom, Sarah Butcher, Andy Bridewell, Tom Clay, Nick Frankfort, Rosemary Macdonald, Niall Murphy, John Perry, Rupert Sebag-Montefiore and Susan Shaw.^[4]
