SEEVIC

Our 200-seater purpose built theatre hosts various productions throughout the year, many of which have been performed to a sell-out audience. The theatre has hosted charity events, plays, dances, fashion shows and musicals such as Back to the 80's, Hello Dolly!, The Wizard of OZ and lots more.

The Back to the 80's show saw the SEEVIC College theatre transformed when a professional set, based around the design of a Rubik’s Cube, was constructed complete with a life-size 1980’s style car. 

Staff and students always aim to deliver high quailty performances with a professional feel. We welcome you to come and enjoy them with us. Check back for regular updates of upcoming shows and events.
