Studio Theatre

Studio Theatre is an intimate performance venue on Potterrow in central Edinburgh, managed by Capital Theatres. Its flexible auditorium accommodates up to 155 people, making it a suitable setting for smaller-scale productions, touring performances, rehearsals and creative projects that benefit from a close connection between performers and their audience.

The theatre supports new work, emerging artists and creative collaborations, and is available to hire by arrangement. Organisers can enquire about availability and pricing directly with the venue. Its scale makes it particularly relevant to producers and arts organisations seeking a dedicated theatre space for a focused programme, development activity or a small audience event.

The venue is part of Edinburgh's established theatre scene, with a regular programme of performances and activities. For hirers, the auditorium's purpose-built performance setting offers a clear alternative to a general-purpose function room. A seating plan is available to help with audience arrangements, while the venue's location provides access to public transport and nearby city-centre facilities.

Studio Theatre has lift access and facilities for wheelchair users, including wheelchair spaces and accessible seating. Accessible toilets are available, and visitors can use mobile hearing support. The theatre's team can provide further information about access requirements and the practical arrangements for a visit or hire.

For event planners and production teams looking for a smaller Edinburgh theatre venue, Studio Theatre offers a dedicated stage and auditorium, a capacity of up to 155, and an enquiry-based hire service. Contact Capital Theatres to discuss a proposed use, dates and pricing.
