It's a Wonderful Life

This was taken just before the curtain went up at the start of the play. A brilliant musical production of the classic film 'It's a Wonderful Life'. The theatre itself seats 500 and there's not a bad seat in the house. There is also a café, bar and shop. We will definitely be back!

Back in 1944, John Stewart was in Pitlochry and had an idea for starting a theatre there (he had already established the Park Theatre Club in Glasgow’s West End in 1941). However after the war, they were only giving licences for essential building purposes. With this setback he turned to the idea of a tent theatre. (London and Birmingham were already using wet weather tents) so he visited them to find out where they got their tents.
Stewart bought one and finally, on the 19th of May 1951, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre opened with the British premiere of Maxwell Anderson’s Mary of Scotland, with Joss Ackland as Darnley.
