Mandeville Theatre, Ridley College

Ridley College, a co-educational independent school with a student body of 580, was well established in 1989. Athough the programs in music and drama had grown over the years, there were no suitable facilities on campus. The plans for a new Arts and Sciences building provided the opportunity to create a theatre as a wing of the new structure in a highly economic way. This 350 seat semi-thrust theatre provides a venue suitable for both music and drama, as well as use by the local community.
