The Stephen Joseph Theatre is an independent theatre and cinema based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

The SJT is a beautifully-restored 1930s Odeon cinema, home to the famous theatre-in-the-round which was the first of its kind in the world. The Round provides a truly unique experience as the audience is seated all around the stage. Not only does the audience see the performance from every angle, it also brings the actor into the same space as the audience.
