Theatre Royal Dumfries 7403

Theatre Royal, Dumfries - now occupying the space formerly taken by the circle and gallery, the balcony front has been reused from the Phipps designed theatre. The oldest theatre in Scotland has led a long and often troubled history. Opened as the New Theatre in 1792, it received its Royal Patent and became the Theatre Royal in 1811. C J Phipps was engaged to largely rebuild the theatre in 1876, resulting in an elegant 1,000 seat auditorium with two horseshoe balconies. But by the start of the C20th the theatre was in financial trouble and was sold in 1909 and converted to a roller rink, removing most of the interior. This proved short-lived and the theatre once again underwent conversion to a cinema, which lasted until 1954. Happily, it returned into the theatre fold after a five-year closure when the amateur Guild of Players acquired it after their own Little Theatre was lost, and the Theatre Royal was reopened in October 1960. Many proposals for improvements came and went, until 2014 when the Guild closed the building for a massive redevelopment and expansion (incorporating properties bought almost 30 years earlier), supported by a range of heritage bodies and councils. It reopened late in 2015 with a new entrance, a Studio Theatre and hugely upgraded facilities both for audience and performer. Category B listed.
