==History==
:''For details of the pre-2009 productions at the theatre and its original owners, see Derby Playhouse''
Roderick Ham, who had already designed the Thorndike Theatre, Leatherhead, was commissioned to design the theatre, and the Derby City Council offered the site as part of the new shopping development, the Eagle Centre. It was officially opened as the Derby Playhouse on 20 September 1975 by the 11th Duke of Devonshire.〔BBC News. (20 September 2005). ("Replacement for Playhouse urged" ). Retrieved 10 January 2013.〕
From its opening until October 2008, the theatre was owned and operated by Derby Playhouse Ltd. The company, which had a history going back to 1948, opened its first season in the new theatre with ''My Fair Lady'', followed by ''Hamlet'' and concluding the following summer with Alan Bates in ''The Seagull''. Serious financial difficulties emerged in 2007, and in October 2008, Derby Playhouse Ltd. ceased operating after a period in administration. The company's last production at the theatre was ''The Killing of Sister George'' starring Jenny Eclair.〔''Derby Telegraph'' (13 September 2008). ("Abridged Version Of Playhouse Drama" ).

The theatre was reopened in October 2009 as the Derby Theatre under the ownership of the University of Derby. The first two productions were by the Derby Gilbert & Sullivan Company who performed ''The Gondoliers'' and ''The Mikado''.〔''Derby Telegraph'' (8 October 2009). ("Theatre stages a remarkable comeback" ). Retrieved 10 January 2013.〕 The University of Derby originally operated the venue in partnership with Derby LIVE, the city council's performing arts programme with the theatre used for both visiting professional companies and as a learning and community theatre. This partnership came to end in March 2012 when responsibility for all areas of the operation were returned to the University who operate the theatre with the support of the Arts Council England.〔''Derby Telegraph'' (13 January 2012). ("It's all change for Derby Theatre" ). Retrieved 10 January 2013.〕 In May 2012 it was confirmed that Derby Theatre would receive £923,000 over three years from the Arts Council England to support a Learning Theatre Pilot programme. The University also offered financial support of up to £500,000 per year from its Arts fund.〔''Derby Telegraph'' (4 May 2012).

The theatre launched a fundraising campaign to help with restoration costs, and the main auditorium seating and carpets were refurbished in August 2012 in time for the autumn season.〔''Derby Telegraph'' (19 September 2012). ("Curtain up on Derby Theatre's £80k revamp" ).
