Member Highlights
The Wales Theatre has gone digital. The Wales Theatre opened its doors in 1927 when naysayers were trying to write off ‘talkies’ and the phenomenon of the Jazz Singer as a flash in the pan. It acquired its current name in a prestigious ceremony that had the then Prince of Wales in attendance as the theatre was renamed in his honour. Almost one hundred years later the building is still a theatre and still bringing the pleasure of films to our community.
In keeping with the advancements in film making and the ever increasingly sophistication of the viewing public, Syed Kidwai recently installed a new digital projector, sound system and screen. Syed bought the theatre in 2000 and has been working hard to keep up with the changes in technology; all the while keeping the charm and elegance of this old style theatre in place.
