Terry Hands Theatre

The Terry Hands Theatre opened in 2006 following a £130,000 investment in NEWI’s Theatre and Performance facilities. The theatre consists of two studio spaces with specially designed sprung floors, and a third multi-purpose studio which includes the latest audio-visual equipment, a specialist “voice studio” for exercising and recording the voice, and an open plan craft area and wardrobe space.

The theatre is named after Terry Hands, Director at Clwyd Theatr Cymru, which is located 10 miles from Wrexham in the Flintshire town of Mold. Terry trained at RADA and founded the Liverpool Everyman Theatre in 1964 before joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966. He joined Theatr Clwyd (as it was then called) in 1996 as Artistic Consultant and in 1997 became its Director and Chief Executive.
