...well, in Birmingham, Alabama it is. Fascinating read about renovating theatres as a way of renovating city centres. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47820698Lets hope the residents support the finished product(s). Which theatres in UK towns and cities would you like to see renovated or returned to theatrical use? |

I saw that earlier. It's an interesting article, and it's nice to see the spaces being retained for community use. Also interesting to see the spelling "theatre" used several times.

Wow the Lyric's exterior looks stunning. There's something about the decayed interior that I prefer to the renovation though, Not sure on the blues, but still. The Alhambra looks beautiful. So much so I'm keen to visit.
I'd love to see the Theatre Royale on lower Oxford Road in Manchester returned to it's formed theatrical state. It's been empty for over a decade since closing it's operations as a nightclub. If it was to be refurbished and returned to its original purpose it would link the Palace and Opera House up and form a chain of theatres along one road from Home down to the Opera House.
