Nottingham Arts Theatre

The Nottingham Arts Theatre is a theatre on George Street in Nottingham, England. It was formerly known as the Co-op Arts Theatre.

It has a seating capacity of 321 in the Auditorium and a newer 50-seat studio theatre. It is operated by a charity and the local acting community. It has seen a few notable entertainers on its stage such as some of the members of Nottingham-based band Dog Is Dead. It also premiered the stage version of Alan Sillitoe's novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. It also stages a pantomime and a youth theatre production annually. A newer tradition is the summer 'Show in a Week' where minors (often from the youth theatre) come and stage a one-night show after a week's rehearsal. It also hosts the Nottingham Gilbert and Sullivan society's productions.

In recent years it has put on shows such as:

• The King and I (2010)
• Les Misérables, Youth Theatre (2009)
• Our Day Out, Youth Theatre (2010)
• RENT: School Edition, Youth Theatre (2011)

• Run for Your Wife (2010)
• Tommy (2009)
• The Roses of Eyam (2011)
