Jose Lobero The Lobero is California's oldest, continuously operating theatre. Originally founded in 1873 and rebuilt in 1924, it is recognized as one of Santa Barbara's architectural jewels and a State and City landmark. Jose Lobero's Opera House - 1873 On Washington's Birthday, 1873, Jose Lobero (born "Giuseppe" in Genoa, Italy) realized his dream by opening California's only opera house south of San Francisco. Combining his vision, the influence of his in-laws, the prestigious Cota Family, and a $25,000 loan from William Welles Hollister, Lobero purchased the old wooden schoolhouse at Canon Perdido and Anacapa streets and added what was then the largest adobe building in California. The theatre featured a suspended horseshoe balcony and could seat 1,300. The original Lobero saw hundreds of performances and established itself as the cultural heart of Santa Barbara.

http://www.kazoocivic.com/history/
A Brief History of The Civic From 1929 to the present The Kalamazoo Civic Theatre has been at the forefront of community theatres in America. From its beginning it has been praised by the public and its peers as one of the outstanding examples of just what can be done with a "Civic" or community theatre. What started as a tiny band of people producing a few plays in Lincoln School auditorium in the summer of 1929, has grown to be one of the premier theatres of its type. Founders of the theatre included Dorothy Dalton, Norman Carver Sr., Howard Chenery, Ruth Noble, Paul Fuller, Louise Carver, and Jean Huston. Their contributions to The Civic helped to set the stage for many years of high artistic quality and performance. In its long history, The Civic has managed to survive the Depression, become a major cultural institution in southwest Michigan and is still a leader in the ranks of community theatre. Some of the highpoints in the Civic's history are as follows: Throughout its history, The Civic has served the community in a meaningful way. The future promises to be filled with opportunities, and we invite you to be a part of our continuing legacy.

Production
Profiles Theatre is a not-for-profit professional non-Equity theatre company and has been producing plays in Chicago for over 14 years. Founded in 1988 by five Eastern Illinois University alumni, the company was originally called Profiles Performance Ensemble. Profiles was in residence at the Wright College Theatre Building until 1990, when Artisitic Director Joe Jahraus directed Profiles' first play at the theatre's current home (4147 N. Broadway) - a hit production of David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago. The following year, Associate Artistic Director Darrell W. Cox joined the ensemble. Darrell has a B.F.A. in Theatre from Sam Houston State University in Texas and first performed with Profiles in their long-running production of Sam Shepard's True West . Profiles shortly thereafter became the resident company at the Broadway address, formerly known as Red Bones Theatre, and took over all management responsibilities for the 50-seat theatre. The last member to join the core ensemble was Sara Maddox, in 1999. She has an MS from Miami University and first appeared with Profiles in their long-running hit production of Ben Elton's Popcorn The ensemble officially changed the name of the company and of the theatre space to Profiles Theatre in 1995. Today, Profiles still maintains a small, tightly knit ensemble whose other members include Eric Burgher (2003), Scott Ian Lefton (2000), Greg Yaeger (1994), Sal V. Armano (1993), Wayne Karl (1990), and Cindi Jahraus (1988).

Photo taken December 1993 at a sellout midnight showing of Wayne's World 2 Empire Theatre
Grand Forks, North Dakota Text and Photos By Christopher P. Jacobs
(Excerpted from a forthcoming history of movie theatres in Grand Forks)
Last updated January 10, 1999 It was a time of new technology, new ideas, and new opportunities. Life in general was becoming more exciting and more complicated. Early November, 1919—daylight savings time, which had been put into effect during World War I, had just been abolished. The Great War had been over for about a year, as had the deadly influenza epidemic. Governor Lynn J. Frazier was ready to take over operation of North Dakota’s coal mines to settle a strike. Editorials and letters to the editor warned about Reds, anarchists, and the Non-partisan League. Count Ilya Tolstoy was scheduled to speak in Grand Forks on "The Truth About Russia." The Dakota Playmakers from the University were preparing for a two-day Ibsen festival which they would get to perform in the opulent Metropolitan Theatre downtown. Construction was being completed on the New Grand, the largest theatre in town ever built for the purpose of showing only moving pictures. This new theatre would operate for a longer period of time than any other theatre ever built in Grand Forks, changing its name twice after extensive remodeling projects. Shortly after sound films were introduced the New Grand became the Paramount for about 25 years, and after it modernized again and converted to CinemaScope it was renamed the Empire, the name it has held for the longest time.

Art Pierce The beginnings of The Mercury Theatre on the Air The Cradle Will Rock, By this time Orson Welles was already a radio veteran, having made frequent appearances on The March of Time Les Miserables, which was airing on Friday evenings between July and September of 1937 over the Mutual Broadcasting System. Although not officially a Mercury (the series had been airing for a few weeks before The Mercury even came into existence), several actors who were to become fixtures of The Mercury Theatre of the Air such as Martin Gabel, Alice Frost, Ray Collins, Virginia Welles (Mrs. Orson Welles), Agnes Moorehead, and Everett Sloane, appeared in the program, which Mr. Welles produced, directed, scripted, and starred in. The summer of 1938 found Orson Welles (who was just finishing his season-long run as The Shadow) with the chance to display the talents of his Mercury Players on his own series to be broadcast from New York City.

  • Theatre as Popular Culture at the Turn of the Century

  • [in development]
Theatre was the primary medium of popular culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, much as television and film are today. Every town worthy of the definition had a theatre, or "Opera House," or "Academy of Music," which presented a melange of musicals, melodrama, and minstrel shows. During this period "The Theatre was The Road and The Road was The Theatre," forget Broadway.
  • North Carolina Opera Houses, 1878-1921

  • [in development]
Wilmington's Thalian Hall is the most famous survivor, but Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh, Asheville had them, too. As well as Siler City, Rowland, Maxton, Enfield, Weldon, Mount Olive about 160 theatres in something like 80 different towns during the 40-year period. Illustrated with period photographs. The New York Dramatic Mirror was the leading theatrical newspaper of its day. Stringers from all over the country sent back brief reports on what was hot among the touring companies and what was not. Gives an insight into the theatrical taste of the time.
  • The 1904-1905 Theatre Season in North Carolina

  • [in development]
What our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers saw at their local opera house, in a typical theatrical season before moving pictures changed everything.

ABOUT THE THEATRE ROYAL
In recent years the Theatre has beeen re-roofed and the outside refurbished to restore it to its former glory
It is the venue for the Guild of Players' own productions and for performances from visiting companies. These include: Scottish Opera, TAG, the Borderline and 784. In addition it is extensively used for Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival, Dumfries Music Festival, the Dumfries Musical and Operatic Society and the Ian Wardlaw Trust Drama Competition For the past two years the Guild has been negotiating with the Scottish Arts Council Lottery Fund for a grant towards the cost of extending the Theatre building into the empty yard beside it in Shakespeare Street, and into a second adjacent property in Queen Street. The new accomodation would include a dance theatre, a new reception area and entrance, an improved licensed bar and coffee bar area and dressing room space, and rebuilding of the original balconies in the the auditorium itself. All the facilities will be made accessible to disabled people. The enlarged building would then be available as a communnity resource for a wider variety of day-time and evening activities, including conferences, workshops and courses, as well as performances.

http://www.trh.co.uk/strand/history/
Scroll Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring, ran for 1,337 performances, a length of run which remained the record in the history of the theatre until 1974. Sailor Beware. Peggy Mount, at the time completely unknown in the London theatre world, became a star overnight in this production which was to run for 1,231 performances until 1958. From 1930 until 1934 the Strand saw a memorable series of plays presented by the partnership of Leslie Henson and Firth Shephard. Victoria Wood and Dave Allen had extremely successful solo seasons. During December 1980 ownership changed again when the theatre was bought by Louis Michaels, adding to his existing group of theatres including, The Theatre Royal, Haymarket, Theatre Royal Brighton, The Playhouse Theatre, Bournemouth and Richmond Theatre. A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum, starring Frankie Howerd, ran from October 1963 until July 1965. 1986 saw two productions: Look No Hans! starring David Jason, and the musical Judy for which Leslie Mackie won the Best Actress Award 1987. During the Blitz, Donald Wolfit kept the theatre open with lunchtime performances of Shakespeare (during which season the actors had to reach the stage over piles of rubble after a bomb had damaged the dressing rooms).
