Victoria Theatre lives again...

Amazingly, the oldest theatre still standing
in NSW is not in Sydney, but to the north, in Newcastle...
The 66 by 40 feet stage was huge for its time, much bigger than anything Sydney offered. There were even 12 dressing rooms.
The Victoria Theatre opened in 1876. https://t.co/oXWDhAPZQi pic.twitter.com/yRRAwoldHs

old Nimrod Theatre...

Incredible, pointy building, old stable, followed by a taxi garage + a gymnasium before John Bell converted it. It had double coach-house doors opening into a brick-paved foyer+a stairway leading to a triangular loft, the upstairs theatre for 140 people. https://t.co/e6dDDo0LZa https://t.co/IUP6JQXTF2

remembering Sydney's Palace theatre...

I must celebrate this post. Long ago, I worked casually on the Hoyts theatres' circuit... The Palace was one of the theatres. Loved the personality of the old girl. Most intriguing were the massive wall to wall to ceiling mirrors backstage + the old Tank Stream flowed below. https://t.co/gRjW6oFldu
