THE SEAGULL LOWESTOFT CIC

The Seagull is a small not for profit community theatre in Pakefield, Lowestoft, which plays host to a regular stream of local talent, regional and national touring theatre companies and a vibrant selection of classes and community events... The building was opened in 1895 as a junior day school, The Morton Road School and it was in this capacity that it remained until the outbreak of the Second World War. When the war ended in 1945 the school was not reopened and the building sat out of use until the 1960s when it was converted into an arts centre by Suffolk County Council. Given the name "The Seagull Theatre" by the local acting group "The Seagull Theatre Club" (who got the name from the play by Anton Chekhov), it remained in use as a theatre and Arts College until funding was withdrawn in 2006. The building was closed, the windows were boarded up and the developers called in... See a show, take part in a community event, feel the power of the arts to improve wellbeing. Find out..
