A group of local volunteers have been trained in Oral History methods and are currently interviewing various people around the City with stories to tell about the Theatre. So far they have collected interviews from past audience members, technicians and actor Tony Adams (Crossroads) all talking fondly about their memories of the theatre at that time.
