To ensure the health and safety of our staff and artists during the current lockdown, we have adapted and rescheduled our programme. The Band Plays On and Escaped Alone will now be made available to watch on-line and the Open Submissions programme will move to later in the spring.

We will be in touch with customers who have a booking that’s affected by these changes. As a registered charity, we appreciate any support that you can offer as we continue to navigate the financial challenges of this period.

Our Open Submissions Programme is underway! Take part in our online meeting on Mon 30 November where we welcome artists, audiences and Sheffield residents to discuss the city, culture and what they want to see on the Crucible stage.

The Open Submissions Programme invites local artists to submit their work to be reviewed by a panel of audience members, local people, artists and theatre representatives, which will then form the programme for Feb 2021.

Following the announcement that Sheffield will be placed into Tier 3 once the current national lockdown ends, we remain committed to doing everything we can to bring the magic of panto to Sheffield this year.

It’s a relief to know that we are able to continue to rehearse shows under the current Tier 3 guidance. Our rehearsals for Damian’s Pop Up Panto will begin on Sun 6 December and we’ll be preparing to welcome audiences back to the buildings from Wed 16 December.

We know that if we remain in Tier 3 we won’t be able to reopen to the public. We are remaining hopeful that the spread of the virus will slow and that we may move down to Tier 2, in which case we can reopen the Crucible’s doors. Should Sheffield remain in Tier 3 when the first review takes place, we’ll adjust our plans and we hope to share the pantomime online.

If ever there was a year when we need the joy of pantomime, it’s this one and if ever there was a time for us to draw on all our reserves of hope, it’s now!

For all other productions in the Together Season, please bear with us as we await further guidance and make plans. We will be in touch with all our customers as soon as possible. Thank you for your support and patience.

Today marks the opening of our Together Season, and the opening up of our doors for the first time since March! We are so excited to welcome you back with a season filled to the brim with drama, history, laughs and, most importantly, togetherness.

With the first performance of Here’s What She Said To Me just hours away, we remain forever grateful for your support. We hope to see you there!

Here's What She Said to Me | Interview with the director

We caught up with the director of Here's What She Said to Me, Mojisola Elufowoju, to find out all about the show, and what it'll be like to be the first theatre production on the Crucible stage in over seven months! Opens this Friday.

With only 4 days left! Until our Together Season opens with Here's What She Said to Me, we stepped into the rehearsal room to take a few photos.

Opening this Friday Here's What She Said to Me tells the story of three generations of proud African woman sharing their struggles, joys and broken dreams. https://bit.ly/37Pkbv5

We are over the moon that we have received funding thanks to the government’s #CultureRecoveryFund so that we can continue to be here for you and #HereForCulture. Thanks to DCMS, HM Treasury and Arts Council England.

This funding is a vital lifeline that will enable us to continue to make bold and brilliant theatre in Sheffield, to provide employment to artists and theatre professionals, and be able to further adapt our buildings and performance spaces as we look towards full reopening.

We're back! The first theatre production on the Crucible stage in over 7 months will be Here's What She Said to Me.

A moving story of daughters and mothers in a world full of change. Three generations of proud African woman connect with each other across two continents as they share their struggles, joys, tragedies and broken dreams as they try to move forward.
