IS YOUR THEATRE UNDER THREAT ?
THEATRICAL ANGELS WANTED-NO SKILLS NEEDED !
Do you fancy supporting a theatrical enterprise to which you could be linked for years to come ?
With a special introduction by Ken Dodd we have just produced an important theatrical book which takes a nostalgic look back over 50 years to the wonderful days of variety theatres which existed in the Midlands right up until the mid 1960s. The areas covered include Staffordshire, the West Midlands, East Midlands and Welsh borders, and copies are on sale now !
Old Theatres of the Midlands already has the support of leading theatres in the area, the Theatres Trust, British Music Hall Society, Derby and Nottingham music hall association, Derby New Theatre Association and the Frank Matcham Society.
'Old Theatres of the Midlands' has just been launched at The Palace theatre, Redditch, and copies are available now direct from the author, price £10 (plus postage and packing of £1.39) at The Coach House, Minllyn, Dinas Mawddwy, Machynlleth, Powys, SY20 9LP (Cheques should be made payable to T.G. Kirtland)
What we have created are happy memories of a time when everyone went to their local variety theatre. You may have memories yourself; you may have memorabilia. So why not consider seeing yourself in print ?
