Heritage Talk: Just Keep Rollin' Along
This talk will showcase one of The People's Archives projects conducted by Ruth McKay, our Youth Advisory Board Chair at the Festival Theatre, and dedicated volunteer.
This project has centred around Amateur Productions at the King's Theatre with a focus on Show Boat. The talk will explore the complexities of this mammoth production across multiple companies and eras. The discussion will highlight The Bohemians, McMillen Productions, and will also present costume replicas and an analysis of character costumes. Come along and learn more about ''life upon the wicked stage''.
