Leith Theatre - Our Cultural Hub

Thu, Aug 8th 2024 at 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Leith Theatre is a hidden gem and historic venue, which local people strived to restore and become, once again, a place to celebrate and be part of our cultural life.


 

Lynn Morrison is Chief Executive of the Leith Theatre Trust, which has worked tirelessly for the last 20 years to bring the theatre back into action.

Leithers may remember the heady days of the 70s, when AC/DC, Thin Lizzy and other bands included Leith Theatre in their tour schedules; as well as events as diverse as a weighltifting tournament during the 1972 Commonwealth Games, to opera, political rallies and of course, the Edinburgh International Festival. More recently, it has hosted film and TV productions.

Join Lynn to hear more about the theatre's history, its claims to fame and its part in the famous who have graced its stage. Learn about its future direction, and how a cultural venue can be nurtured by local people to thrive for all our benefit.
