Town theatre plans to start screening films âbut wonât compete with cinemaâ
Burnham-On-Seaâs Princess Theatre hopes to start screening daytime films in its main hall when it re-opens later in the year – but it does not intend to compete with the town’s Ritz Cinema, councillors have been told this week.
During a virtual meeting of the Town Council’s Princess Management Committee this week, the theatre’s Business Development Officer, Beccy Armory, gave an update on the work that is underway to make The Princess Theatre ready to re-open when the Government lifts Covid restrictions.
The theatre in Princess Street has been shut since last March due to the pandemic and is currently undergoing a major refurbishment, funded by the EDF Community Impact Mitigation fund, which Beccy said is “making great progress”.
