The theatre's repertory members present approximately 11 shows each year[6] as well as a number of smaller productions which are performed in the open "Bar Area".[7] Performances run for around eight nights, apart from Sunday evenings when the theatre stage is used to showcase local or touring bands, among other events.[8]
