Last updated 22/08/2011 22/08/11 - The Management of the Corpus Playroom is being taken on by Cambridge University's ADC Theatre from October 2011. A new website for the Playroom is under construction, while the space itself is being re-developed. This redevelopment will see the dressing rooms and backstage areas overhauled, as well as a new Box Office being added. The majority of the £100,000 cost is being met by Corpus Christi College, supported by the ADC Theatre and other donors. The re-development builds on last summer's significant improvements to the audience seating, enabled by many individual donations. Productions will be ticketed through the ADC Theatre's Box Office, with a dedicated website for advanced sales, and productions will be featured in the ADC season brochure. 08/11/10 - Applications are now open to produce and direct shows at the Playroom in Lent 2011. Please visit our Applications page for more information and for the application form. Please note that the deadline for applying is Friday 19th November. 01/10/10 - Over the summer we've kicked off The Playroom Project by re-upholstering the seating, reconstructing the rake and installing a new carpet. Photos will be up soon, but do come along and see it in person if you can. 15/09/10 - The new term card is up! You can check it out at 'What's On'. In particular, on alternating Monday nights we have two fantastic new events: the Corpus Smoker, an evening of sketches, skits and stand up hosted by our own Pierre Novellie; and 'Hatch', an evening of serious new writing. 14/05/10 - The deadline for play applications for productions to be held in Michaelmas 2010 has been annouced.

Only one week until the interview process begins, and so applications received after Friday 27th November may find it difficult to secure a position on our term card. 06/11/09 - Unfortunately, Good. Clean. Men. has sold out for both tonight and tomorrow. Please do not turn up on the door, as there will be no available tickets. Also on this week is one of Joe Orton's earliest plays, Funeral Games, starting at 19:00 - don't miss it! To repeat, there will be no tickets available on the door for either the Friday or Saturday late show. 01/11/09 - The application process for Lent 2010 is now formally open!
