DARLINGTON CIVIC THEATRE – FROM THE BEGINNING TO A NEW ERA
On Friday 22 January Darlington Civic Theatre is opening the doors for an exciting and informative look behind the scenes with a special Heritage Tour.
Theatres are amazing spaces, especially old ones. As soon as you walk in to any auditorium you feel the warmth and history of the hundreds or thousands of stars who have appeared on the stage, you can almost hear the echo of applause ringing around the building, the atmosphere of anticipation of the production you are about to see is almost tangible.
Imagine, then, the opportunity to get a glimpse behind the scenes – the areas you never get to see as a member of the audience. See the technical areas and offices. Add to that the history of secret apartments, the dressing rooms (some of which are known to be haunted) and you have an exciting and informative tour of one of Darlington’s most wonderful and historic buildings.
There will also be the opportunity to learn about the forthcoming restoration of the theatre under the current Heritage Lottery bid – a chance to see plans for the project and discuss the benefits to audience members, touring companies and the cultural impact it will have on the town.
See Darlington Civic theatre as you have never seen it before.
The Darlington Civic Theatre Heritage Tour will take place on Friday 22 January at 7pm. Tickets are priced £5
