Tyne Theatre & Opera House invite people to share memories
of Stoll Picture Theatre
This
year Tyne Theatre & Opera House is celebrating its 150th
Anniversary. In recognition of the 50+ years that the theatre operated as the Stoll Picture Theatre (1919-1974) we
are holding a three day film festival in partnership with the Whitley Bay Film Festival. The Cinema Years film festival will run
from Friday 11th – Sunday 13th
August 2017.
The
theatre is very keen to capture memories of the Stoll and we have set up an oral history project in association
with Newcastle University.
We
are therefore inviting people with memories of the Stoll to come and talk to
us. The informal interviews will last no longer than half an hour and will be
filmed to keep a permanent record of your stories. The films will be available
for viewing at the Tyne Theatre and Opera House as part of our archive.
For
those who wish to share their stories and be part of the theatre’s fascinating
heritage, interviews will take place on Thursday
6th July and 20th July,
between 10am
– 1pm and 2pm - 7pm.
If you would like to take
part and share your memories please contact by email: tynetheatreproductions@gmail.com or call 0191
