The curtain is rising on the refurbishment of the Embassy Theatre in Skegness with audiences returning to see the first show of the season, That'll Be The Day. Plans to expand and alter the theatre were approved by East Lindsey District Council in September last year. The theatre closed for three months for refurbishment to begin after the panto season last year.
Funded by £5 million from Arts Council England’s Cultural Development Fund, which could also be used to refurbish Skegness Pier, the project included expanding the theatre’s courtyard on the south side and the car park to the north.
Details also included upgrading the theatre’s seating, extending the stage storage area, and creating more multi-use spaces. The expansion will also create four additional full-time jobs, increasing total employment opportunities at the site to 17. Video: Magna Vitae on Facebook.
