The Hull Truck Theatre in Spring Street, Hull opened on the 4th of April 1983 with 'The Adventures Of Jasper Ridley' by Nigel Williams as the permanent home for the Hull Truck theatre company who had been producing touring productions since 1971. The Theatre was reconstructed from a former Methodist Hall called the St Stephen's church rooms, and is now one of a very few producing companies in Yorkshire. The Theatre's auditorium was refurbished in 1994 and currently has a capacity of 200.

In 2006 work began on the building of a new Theatre for the Hull Truck Company by the Quarmby Construction Company, at a cost of £13.8 million which has been funded by the Arts Council, Kingston Upon Hull City Council, and the European Regional Development Fund. The Theatre will have a main auditorium of 440 capacity and a smaller space for 136. It is hoped that the new Theatre will be finished in the Spring of 2008.
