The Historic Fillmore Towne Theatre Fillmore Towne Theatre 1916 W hen the Fillmore Towne Theatre opened to a packed house on October 2, 1916, the local newspaper reported that the first show was, "an event of no little importance in the town's history." Almost eighty years later, the journalist's prediction has come to pass. The theater has experienced the vicissitudes of evolving entertainment trends and Southern California geology, surviving with much integrity to become one of the oldest continuously operated moving picture houses in the United States. While not the earliest built among surviving movies theaters, the Fillmore Towne Theatre is among the oldest continuously operated facilities. The building is a rare surviving example of a small town vaudeville house which was also built for the purpose of showing moving pictures. In the context of theatre history, movies were not big business until the 1920s, though the first feature-length film appeared in 1903. Long before the movie palaces of the 1920s, were developed, arcades, storefront theaters and nickelodeons were serving up moving picture technology to the public. The fund-raising efforts of local officials and the citizen committee successfully prevented the demolition of the building. In November 1996 the Towne Theatre reopened as a movie house. However, additional funds are needed to restore the historic and decorative murals and artwork on the auditorium walls and the lobby ceiling.

Home Shows History The Davis Theatre for the Performing Arts (click picture to see larger size) 251 Montgomery Street (334)241-9567 Office (334)241-9756 FAX Theatre History This grand theatre opened on January 25, 1930, as The Paramount Theatre. It was a "Movie Palace", designed for the "talkies" and Vaudeville shows. Countless numbers of patrons not only enjoyed movies and shows in the palace, but many couples enjoyed their first date, first kiss or marriage proposal here. There were many weddings held on the stage of The Paramount! After closing in 1976 (ironically, the last feature was Gone With The Wind ), the theatre was purchased by Troy State University, renovated and reopened in 1983 as The Davis Theatre for the Performing Arts , named for the late Tine W. Davis and his wife Eunice, the major contributors to the restoration. The Davis Theatre is a downtown landmark and is one of only a handful of such theatres still standing across the South. The acoustics are excellent, and with 1200 seats, the size is perfect. It has a full-size orchestra pit, and the stage is easily seen from any seat in the house. There is a feeling of intimacy long since sacrificed in modern theatre design. The Davis Theatre is ideal for Montgomery's needs - in size, design and location - in the center of a revitalized downtown area where it is a perfect complement to the city's convention facilities.

46. Warehouse Theatre History Warehouse Theatre 1977 2004. The Early Years The Warehouse Theatre COUNSELby Nick Bamford World Premiere. theatre information home page. http://www.warehousetheatre.co.uk/warehouse theatre history.html

The Early Years T he Warehouse Theatre was founded by Sam Kelly, Richard Ireson, and Adrian Shergold at the height of the lunchtime theatre boom with the aim of presenting a varied season of plays with an emphasis on new work to the highest possible standards. The first production - Hell's Angels on Typewriters by Angela Wye - opened in May 1977, and the then 50 seat auditorium became an instant favourite with local audiences for lunchtime performances whilst sharing the building with a Caribbean night club. In 1978 the Arts Council recognised the work of the theatre by awarding a major grant and in 1979 the nightclub closed, evening performances were introduced and the seating capacity was increased to 100. Highly respected touring companies began to visit the theatre between in-house productions and extremely popular cabaret evenings were introduced, with performers including Lenny Henry, French and Saunders, Rik Mayall, Ben Elton, and Julian Clary. Gradually more plays were premiered, with many being specially commissioned by successful writers, such as Sue Townsend, who wrote Groping for Words and Womberang for the theatre.

Mercury Theatre History Orson Welles, The Mercury Theatre, and The Campbell Playhouse Art Pierce The beginnings of The Mercury Theatre on the Air The Cradle Will Rock By this time Orson Welles was already a radio veteran, having made frequent appearances on The March of Time Les Miserables , which was airing on Friday evenings between July and September of 1937 over the Mutual Broadcasting System. Although not officially a Mercury (the series had been airing for a few weeks before The Mercury even came into existence), several actors who were to become fixtures of The Mercury Theatre of the Air such as Martin Gabel, Alice Frost, Ray Collins, Virginia Welles (Mrs. Orson Welles), Agnes Moorehead, and Everett Sloane, appeared in the program, which Mr. Welles produced, directed, scripted, and starred in. The summer of 1938 found Orson Welles (who was just finishing his season-long run as The Shadow) with the chance to display the talents of his Mercury Players on his own series to be broadcast from New York City. Initially to be called First Person Singular , the 60-minute program went on the air on July 11, 1938 as The Mercury Theatre on the Air . During that first 9-week summer series, it became increasingly apparent to the more perceptive radio listener that

Past Performances HELLO: My name is Gary Bianchin, and I am the owner and executive producer of Canterbury Productions. Canterbury Productions and the Canterbury Dinner Theatre are all part of Pittsburgh's Cathedral Hall project in what used to be the St. Francis DeSales parish. The church closed in 1992 due to consolidation in the Diocese. Vacant for five years, I purchased the church and all other parish buildings in 1997. In 2002, we opened the Canterbury Dinner Theatre in the renovated century old school across the courtyard from Cathedral Hall. Designed as a dinner theatre from the beginning, Canterbury provides first class intimate dining with a full season of Broadway caliber theatre; theatre that will please the critic and attract audiences from a wide circle around the Pittsburgh area. The first class chefs in Cathedral Hall provides quality dining far exceeding that of other dinner theatres. Canterbury Dinner Theatre is actually the second phase of our development. The first phase saw up open the church as Pittsburgh's Cathedral Hall in 1998. Cathedral Hall is truly a magnificent building with the best of classical Europe and exceptional refinements expected in a five-star banquet hall and celebration center. Since opening, Cathedral Hall has earned a reputation for excellence in dining and special events. Perhaps the finest wedding reception site in Allegheny County, Cathedral Hall has had the honor of adding a touch of elegance and certainly enjoyment to numerous couples starting their life together. We like to think that affairs of the heart start here.

THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE HISTORY "The 5th Avenue Theatre is a national treasure." Helen Hayes, at the June 16, 1980 renovation dedication ceremony Perhaps the most stunning feature of the interior is the nearly exact replica of the dome from the throne room of the Imperial palace in Bejing's Forbidden City, here presented twice its original size. The magnificent chandelier, located in the center of the ceiling, is held in the teeth of a great coiling dragon. The dragon, symbolizing the Emperor of China, has five toes - each toe representing an evil spirit he must overcome. When the fifth spirit was subdued, a pearl issued from the dragon's mouth, here presented as the Pearl of Perfection chandelier. The 5th Avenue's programming has evolved with history. When Vaudeville gave way to moving pictures, The 5th Avenue led the way in providing top-flight entertainment, thanks mainly to the showmanship of James Q. Clemmer, one of the first great film exhibitors in the Northwest. Clemmer had a knack for show business. Adding to the dramatic impact of the current feature, a Wurlitzer Pipe organ would rise from the center of the orchestra pit at the most suspenseful moment; ushers wore costumes in keeping with the theme of the current film - from swashbuckling pirates to swaggering cowboys - and the great booming voice of "Little Jimmy," a huge overstuffed bear in the lobby, called out to children during the Saturday matinees. In 1978, The 5th Avenue closed its doors and seemed destined for the same fate as the Metropolitan and the Orpheum, two of Seattle's once splendid, now demolished theatres.

Living History program. INTIMAN also supports cross-cultural exchange through groundbreaking collaborations with artists and companies from around the world.

Booker first studied theatre as a Fulbright Lecturer in Sweden, and later returned to Stockholm at the invitation of the Royal Dramatic Theatre to study with Ingmar Bergman and the late Alf Sjoberg. She named her new company INTIMAN (which means "intimate" in Swedish) after a small theatre in Stockholm that was founded near the turn of the century by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg. Like its famous namesake, Seattle's INTIMAN emphasized a resident acting ensemble, fidelity to the playwright's intentions and a close relationship between actor and audience.

54. Theatre History its use as a meeting house and courtroom, The Gatehouse has had a chequered history. Theauditorium that now houses the theatre was opened in 1895 as a place http://www.upstairsatthegatehouse.com/History.htm

Of all the inns and pubs in Highgate, The Gatehouse is probably the oldest. Its nineteenth century owners claimed that there had been a licensed building on the site since 1337, although nothing can be proven as licensing by justices did not commence until 1552 when there were five inns licensed in Highgate, but none of them were actually named in the records. From its days next to the toll gate through its use as a meeting house and courtroom, The Gatehouse has had a chequered history. Byron, Cruikshank and Dickens all used its services and the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution’s inaugural meeting took place in the pub on 16th January 1839. At the turn of the century The Gatehouse was famous all over London for its "shilling ordinairies", gigantic lunches which filled many a Victorian stomach and in 1905 the building was renovated in the mock Tudor style that remains today. The auditorium that now houses the theatre was opened in 1895 as "a place suitable for balls, Cinderellas and Concerts" and its various uses have included a Victorian Music Hall, a cinema, a Masonic Lodge and a venue for amateur dramatics. In the sixties a jazz and folk club featured amongst others, the Crouch End All Stars and, on one famous occasion, Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel fame).

THEATRE HISTORY INITIATIVE In response to the national mandate to achieve measurable benchmarks in literature and arts education, The Shakespeare Theatre created the Theatre History Initiative (THI), an on-line resource to promote the teaching of theatre history in the high school curriculum. THI is a text-based experiential and scholarly program that provides texts and support materials to teachers, in traditional and electronic formats. A group of secondary-school teachers, drawn locally and nationally, will work together to design standards-based curriculum materials and classroom activities. These efforts will be instrumental to the development of a THI web-site. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Theatre History Initiative is a collaboration of the Education Department of The Shakespeare Theatre and American University. The three-year THI program integrates drama and theatre history into public high school curriculum through three components: 1) teacher training; 2) curricular development; and 3) technological dissemination. Leadership support from The National Endowment for the Humanities Theatre History Initiative: Timeline and Participants Year One: Sixteen local high school teachers, representing grades 9 through 12, will participate in ten 6-hour collaborative workshops on the teaching of theatre history. Each workshop will include a scholar presentation, a performance workshop, and a session on lesson-plan development. All of the workshops and discussions will be digitally recorded for inclusion on the website and cd-rom.

Contact Information Even though there were already several other theatres in the Borough of Red Bank, New Jersey by the year 1925 (including the Strand, Palace, Empire and Lyric Theatres), on July 29, 1925 the Red Bank Register reported that Joseph Oschwald of Little Silver had announced plans to build a theatre on Monmouth Street for a partnership of Joseph Stern of Newark, the Burns and Schaffer Amusement Co., and Walter Reade. Joseph Stern was already operating the Tivoli, Central, Plaza, Savoy and Regent Theaters in Newark, the Castle Theater in Irvington, the Lincoln Theater in Bloomfield, the Capitol Theater in Belleville and the Grand and Casino Theaters in Kearney. Walter Reade, for whom the Walter Reade Theatre at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City is now named, was already New Jersey's largest theatre owner, with ownership or an interest in thirty-one other venues in the state. Projected to open eight months later on April 1, 1926, the new theatre would have seating for about 2,000 persons and be equipped for moving pictures, vaudeville and dramatic shows. The ninety foot by one hundred and ten foot theatre would include a wide lobby on Monmouth Street flanked by two storefronts, and a stage entrance for scenery via a ten foot wide strip of land around the corner on Pearl Street. The noted theatre architect Thomas W. Lamb was reported to be drawing the plans for the new building, with an exterior of white terra cotta, and an interior finished in Old Gold and Red. The property and the rights of way for the land were purchased for $21,000, and the projected construction cost was $300,000 to $500,000.

59. Redford Theatre History The Redford Theatre opened on January 27, 1928 as a neighborhood moviehouse. It built. The theatre was designed with a Japanese motif. http://redfordtheatre.com/history/

The Redford Theatre opened on January 27, 1928 as a neighborhood movie house. It was billed as "America's Most Unique Suburban Playhouse." The theatre, with its three story grand foyer and full-size stage, has been in continuous operation ever since. This was fortunate, since it enabled the Redford and its theatre organ to escape the ravages of neglect that resulted in the destruction of many movie palaces. Silent films were still being produced when the plans were made for the theatre, so a Barton Theatre organ was installed as the theatre was being built. The theatre was designed with a Japanese motif. That design included appropriate decorations on the organ console. During World War II, much of the Japanese-style decoration was removed, painted over or covered up. As the theatre continued in operation, the pipe organ was used less and less frequently. Eventually heavy draperies were hung over the organ grillework. The Motor City Theatre Organ Society became interested in the Redford Theatre because, while many pipe organs had been removed from theatres, the Redford's instrument remained intact. The Redford Theatre and the Fox Theatre are now the only two theatres with their original theatre organs in the metro Detroit area. MCTOS entered into an agreement with the owners of the theatre to voluntarily refurbish the organ and use it to present shows.
