The Sackville Theatre
Built in 1981 and refurbished in 2010 as part of The Space, the Sackville Theatre is a compact, well-equipped, flexible performance space which seats around 200.

Sevenoaks School Theatre Company
The aim of the Sevenoaks School Theatre Company is to produce theatre of genuine artistic merit, while providing opportunities for as much pupil participation as possible. In a typical year there will be four or five major productions, including at least one aimed at younger performers. As well as acting, pupils are involved in all aspects of the production: lighting and sound operation, the painting and design of sets, costumes, props, make-up, backstage and Front of House.

Technical, Backstage and Front of House
Under the supervision of staff, pupils wishing to be involved in technical, backstage and Front of House work meet regularly to ensure the smooth running of productions. Older pupils are encouraged to take responsibility for the training of younger enthusiasts, and to pass on their skills and experience.
