History

Last Update  03-Jul-2008

Summary

The summary was prepared by Colin Young in 1998.  Colin has been involved with the Nonentities for many years (including a significant period as Chairman) and provides an insight into the motives for building of the Rose Theatre in Kidderminster.

 

Detailed History

 

The detailed history is taken from three books, The Playhouse Kidderminster, and The Rose - A Theatre for the Wyre Forest.  These books have been reproduced with all of their photographs.  The format has been changed to suit the internet so that each page contains thumbnails of the picutes, that provide a link to the full image. 

 
 

"The Playhouse Kidderminster" was produced in 1968 as a souvenir programme covering the years from 1946 to 1968. (Text currently being converted to HTML)

"The Rose - A Theatre for Wyre Forest" was produced in 1981 as a souvenir of the opening of the new theatre.

 
 

As part of our 25th anniversary celebrations we have commissioned a 'limited edition' 36 page brochure narrating the progress of the company at it's current site. There are a limited number on sale at the theatre.
