Stewart's Dundee Repertory Theatre collection

A scrapbook containing programmes, newspaper cuttings and photographs of the Dundee Repertory Theatre

Maurice Stewart had acted and possibly directed productions at the Rep.
Dundee Repertory Theatre was founded in 1939 out of a collaboration between Robert Thornely who had managed the last touring company to perform at Dundee and who was looking for a home for his professional company and the amateur company the Dundee Dramatic Company. The first theatre was housed in a disused jute mill. After the premises were destroyed by a fire in 1963 the company moved to a church building on Lochee Road. This served as the theatre's home until the new Dundee Rep Theatre was opened at Tay Square in 1982.

Usually chronological within series.

The programmes were deposited by Maurice Stewart. He was living in London when he gave them to the Archive.
