Redditch Palace Theatre
The Palace Theatre is a theatre in Redditch, England, in a Grade II listed building, one of the six working theatres designed by Bertie Crewe.
It opened in 1913. It is an example of Edwardian theatre and has received a major refurbishment restoring the theatre to its original state. Funds and grants were provided by Redditch Borough Council (£3M), and £920,500 as part of a £4 million scheme from The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The Palace building has been used as a variety hall, a cinema, a roller-skating rink, and a bingo hall. Since 1971 it has been used exclusively as a theatre.
The theatre hosts a programme of touring comedy, drama, plays, and an annual pantomime and since 1971 has been the home base of the Redditch Operatic Society, in addition to other local groups including the Alcester Musical Theatre Company.
