Theatre looking much improved - March 2012
Theatre Royal Onward pleased with the high standard of work carried out on the exterior of the theatre by the owner ______________________
Hebdon Bridge Picture House A multi-use community and Council success story. Half the seats were taken out during a refurb in 1978. This is a thriving venue with live events from stand-up comedians to music, local amateur and charity events featuring regularly. Mainstream, art-house and foreign language films are shown and national festivals catered for. ______________________
David Wilmore a theatre consultant who still works operationally within the theatre industry says Hyde Theatre Royal most certainly should be saved for its original use as well as for many other purposes. Theatresearch was formed as a consultancy looking specifically at the restoration of historic theatres.
We believe Tameside needs a cultural centre, it has no theatre of this size to bring touring shows and people to the borough. Hyde needs sustainable redevelopment. Hyde Theatre Royal as a multi-use venue, following the examples of the Troxy London, Hackney Empire, Leeds City Varieties and Liverpool Royal Court, is the way forward for the benefit of everyone. Let's work together to make it happen. ______________________
