Since the Rondo opened in 1989, we’ve nurtured local talent, provided a home for community theatre groups, and brought the best touring theatre, stand-up comedy and music to our stage. In that time, we’ve extended and improved the original building, upgraded our tech facilities, and built a reputation as one of the best fringe theatres in the West Country and beyond… not to mention surviving the biggest threat to our continuation in 2020 when we were forced to close due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
It’s safe to say that the theatre goes through a lot of wear and tear, with hundreds of shows and thousands of visitors each season. Nowhere can this be seen more obviously than on our seats which, as comedian Scott Bennett recently said, ‘look like they’ve been chewed by the family dog’. The seats, which were purchased by us second hand from a closing cinema, are in desperate need of replacing due to wear and tear.
Help us Revamp the Rondo!
This Summer we are finally carrying out renovations on the seating, flooring, and auditorium space which will future proof our venue!
