Palace Theatre Remembers project.
Kirsten Hutton, Head of Learning and Participation, says: ‘As part of the on-going project, we will be asking people to document any memories of the theatre they have. These memories can be as far reaching as 100 years ago or as close as yesterday, we are interested in them all.’
She continues: ‘We have also appointed a local artist to work with targeted groups in the community. This and other material we collect will culminate in an exhibition to be launched on 7th November. The work will be on display at Watford Palace Theatre, Watford Museum and Watford Central Library.’
The exhibition will run for the duration of this year’s panto Dick Whittington and his Cat, November 27- January 3. The Palace Theatre Remembers project is funded by Awards For All (lottery grants for local groups).
