About this event
Scotland’s oldest working theatre, the Theatre Royal Dumfries opened in 1792. It has a long and rich history, undergoing several changes in its design and purpose, including roller rink and cinema. It was saved from demolition in 1959 by the Guild of Players, becoming the home of Dumfries’s amateur dramatic club. Go behind the scenes at the theatre and meet the Guild of Players. Members will be here to welcome visitors and share their experiences of the many different aspects of putting on a show. Pop along from 10am-4pm for Doors Open Day at the Theatre Royal Dumfries. Backstage tours will be available at 10.30am, 12 noon, and 1.30pm. Book tours in advance to guarantee a space.
