Theatres Trust announces Theatre Buildings at Risk register 2009

24th June 2009

The Theatres Trust, the National Advisory Public Body for Theatres has published its 2009 Theatre Buildings at Risk Register (TBAR). The top ten theatres at risk include the threatened Opera House in Blackpool, and Derby Hippodrome, whose owner is being prosecuted by Derby City Council. A total of eighty-two theatres are covered in the Register.

The Trust’s TBAR Register highlights theatres that have been abandoned and those suffering neglect under the hands of their owners. But it also highlights the efforts of groups across the country that are working to rescue theatres, such as the Tivoli in Aberdeen, the Theatre Royal Hyde, and the Doncaster Grand.
