Pavillion Theatre Glasgow -Glasgow's Family Theatre
The Pavillion theatre in Glasgow is truly a family Glasgow theatre and the Pavillion is famous for its pantomimes.
One of Glasgow's oldest theatres, the Pavilion opened on 29 February
1904 as a music hall theatre. The building has remained relatively unchanged
in layout, although the sound and lighting systems have been updated over
the years.
In the 1930s, the Pavilion began hosting pantomimes; in more recent times
it has also produced plays.
The Pavilion Theatre is now the only privately run theatre in Scotland
and one of a few unsubsidised independent theatres left in Britain outside
London.
The theatre is at the top of Renfield St, towards the northern end of the city centre. It is a short walk from Cowcaddens and Buchanan Street Subway stations, and is served directly be numerous bus routes.
Many of the leading music hall artistes of the early 20th century appeared
at the Pavilion, including Marie Lloyd, Little Tich, Harry Lauder, Sarah
Bernhardt and a then unknown Charlie Chaplin.
The theatre was designed by Bertie Crewe for Thomas Barrasford, and was
regarded as luxurious for its time.
