Description of Activity
My research on cinema usherettes has informed key aspects of this project.
"The aim of the event is to educate people about the ways in which cinema-going was different then to how it is now by recreating the experience of a night at the cinema in the 1960s. We are staging the event as an immersive theatre performance, with actors performing the memories I have been collecting of cinema-going in a cinema as we screen a programme of entertainment that approximates something that would have been shown at the time. As such, amongst the cast I have four actors who will be taking on the role of usherettes for the evening....I am aware of your website (which has already been a big help)" Matthew Jones (2016) [email protected]
