Halifax Playhouse - Down a memory Lane 4
A history of the Playhouse
The Playhouse Theatre, on King Cross Street,
Halifax, was built in 1949 and was a conversion from a former 19th century
Methodist Church. The church interior was gutted, apart from its decorative
plaster ceiling, and a new auditorium and stage house was then constructed
within the space, designed by the local architect Messrs Pickles. The
Theatre has seating for 291 on one level comprising of raked stalls
and three alcoves at the rear.
