OUR NEXT PRODUCTION...
The Creature Creeps
11 to 19 December 2026
A full-length comedy play by Jack Sharkey which is a lighthearted send-up of classic horror stories and monster movies. This comedic spoof is set in the Carpathian mountains in turn-of-the-century Transylvania, where a mad scientist and his evil assistant try to make the perfect creature in his gloomy castle complete with secret laboratory, scary cellar and disappearing villagers. Not to be missed – or taken too seriously!
What’s on at The Apollo Theatre in Newport, Isle of Wight
Welcome to the Apollo Theatre
The Apollo Theatre is a member of the Little Theatres Guild of Great Britain (LTG). The building was originally a tiny Methodist chapel in Newport, Isle of Wight, which was bought in 1970 and converted by a team of dedicated volunteers under the inspired leadership of John Hancock, whose idea the whole thing was and without whose commitment and enthusiasm we wouldn’t be what we are now – the Island’s premier little theatre. The first productions were put on the Apollo stage in 1972 – and what a long way we’ve come since then!
