The Lowry

Very diverse building with three theatre spaces -

1. The Lyric Theatre which is the biggest
2. Quays Theatre for touring companies, comedians, live music etc
3. The Studio is flexible which can be used for workshops, amateur performances and film screenings.

The Lyric Theatre is used for drama, opera and ballet performances as well as for their corporate clients for events such as AGMs, sales conferences and presentations. The theatre can seat up to 1730 people which is fully air conditioned, as well as having the latest audio-visual technology.

This theatre has quite a nice feel which is very fresh and modern. The design has changed from the usual colour scheme of red and gold which has been seen in many of the theatres that i have researched into. The purple / blue provides elegance and a dramatic feel to the theatre.

Quays Theatre

Very Adaptable space which can be used for conferences, fashion shows, presentations etc. The theatre's hydraulic technology allows the seating to be rearranged depending on the event. Can seat up to 440 people

This theatre has used the more traditional colour but due to the technology that has been used within the space it has allowed the theatre to become more contemporary and diverse.

The Studio

The Studio is very versatile, it can be used as a single space for up to 280 people or three smaller conference rooms of varying sizes. When divided Studio 1 can provide a tiered auditorium for up to 150 people.

The studio is fairly basic with it's pink and purple colour scheme. The space has floor to ceiling windows which provides some drama to the space. The studio is very versatile and could be used for many events.

The Conference Theatre

The Lowry Conference Theatre is situated adjacent to the Lowry. The building contains 8 rooms of varying size. The tiered Conference Theatre can hold 100 people  which has built-in audio-visual equipment.

The space feels more formal and less relaxing then the Lowry's other theatres, it is more appropriate for conferences and events.
