- Little_Theatre_Gateshead abstract "The Little Theatre Gateshead is Gateshead's only theatre. It was built during World War II, thanks to the generosity of sisters Ruth, Sylvia and M. Hope Dodds. It is believed that the theatre is the only one built in Britain during the war. The building process was interrupted by hostilities after the site was acquired in 1939, being at one time requisitioned as a barrage balloon station, and at another having windows and doors damaged by a bomb falling in Saltwell Park, just across the road. The opening performance on October 13th 1943 was A Midsummer Night's Dream.The theatre was built on a derelict site which would have housed numbers 1 & 2, Saltwell View. Number 3 was purchased and incorporated into the new building immediately. The theatre and the Progressive Players went from strength to strength, but for several years in the 1960s and 70s, the threat of compulsory purchase and demolition to make way for a new road hung over everything. Once the threat was removed, plans to improve and update could advance. In 1989, number 4 was purchased to ease overcrowding and permit expansion of facilities. It now houses a rehearsal space cum coffee bar cum art gallery on the ground floor, while most of the upper floors are devoted to wardrobe storage and workroom.In 2012-13, considerable reconstruction and renovation work to the frontage, foyer and bar of the theatre was carried out, thanks to a generous legacy from former member Jim Ord. Further alterations in 2015 have added another dressing room and a small office to house archival material, as well as providing easier access to the backstage area from the Wardrobe facilities.In between Progressive Players productions, the premises are available for hire, e.g. by schools, colleges, other dramatic or operatic societies, for performances, and by other bodies for meetings or conferences. The theatre is largely self-supporting.".
