SEAGULL THEATRE GALLEY

? - ?

In 1895 The Morton Road School was opened as a junior day school, which closed on the outbreak of the Second World War. At the end of the war in 1945 the school was not reopened and the building was out of use until the 1960s when it was converted into an arts centre by Suffolk County Council and remained in use as a theatre and Arts College until funding was withdrawn in 2006. With the help of volunteers, the Seagull Theatre was reopened at the end of February 2009 and re-established as a small not-for-profit community theatre in Pakefield, Lowestoft and is now an important performing arts venue, offering a diverse range of shows, classes and workshops and in addition to the Auditorium, it has three upstairs studios that provide space for local groups to rehearse or functions to be held. The Seagull is a community venue run by volunteers, supported by three permanent staff members. They offer opportunities across the whole business from technical operations and administration through to set building or front-of-house duties. Suffolk artists who had exhibited at the Seagull Theatre Galley include Mark Burrell.
