What’s on

Your Theatre

Through the shows we make here in Cathays we tell stories for the people of Cardiff – stories that really mean something. We premiere the sharpest new plays by Welsh and Wales-based writers in our Studio. In our Main House we stage new versions of classic plays and spectacular productions for all the family at Christmas time.

The Sherman is a place for everyone, where all can feel welcome. It’s also a stage for our national companies and the best touring shows including comedy, drama, dance and music theatre. Sherman Theatre is your theatre.
