Tower Theatre Company

Tower Theatre Company

The Tower Theatre Company is a performing non-professional acting group based in the Bridewell Theatre (on the site of the former Bridewell Palace), in the City of London.

The group presents 18 productions between September and July, in London, either at their base theatre, or Theatro Technis in Camden Town. During the summer months they perform touring productions, with regular appearances at an open air theatre in Paris, at the Bois de Boulogne, and at the Minack Cliffside Theatre in Cornwall.

The company was founded, as the Tavistock Repertory Company, in 1932 at the Tower Theatre, at the tower in Canonbury.

The company has commissioned a new theatre at Curtain Road, in Shoreditch, London Borough of Hackney. On 6 August 2008 archaeologists from the Museum of London excavating the site, prior to construction, announced that they had found the footings of a polygonal structure which they believe to be the remains of the north-eastern corner of The Theatre's foundations.
