Background
History
The theatre was founded on 15 October 1947 and since then has produced hundreds of productions. The location originally hosting a Sunday School in Lord Street built in 1822 still has the inscription over the main theatre entrance bearing the date of the first building on the site. Following having to move to the ground floor in 1976 due to fire regulations, it was decided in 1980 to rebuild the theatre. The rebuilt theatre was opened on 16 May 1984 by Nicholas Winterton MP for Macclesfield.
