The Fisher Theatre Bungay - Our New Home
For many years now the Fisher Youth Theatre Group has been without a home. In September 2006 the newly refurbished Fisher Theatre re-opened and we were the first group to perform there. Our junior section put on a compilation of plays including "Alice In Wonderland" and "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory". Our senior group put on our adaptation on Willy Russell's "Our Day Out". Both shows were complete sellouts. Great for the new Fisher Theatre.
As our name would suggest we are a youth theatre group involved with the Fisher Theatre in Bungay Suffolk. The Fisher Theatre first opened in 1828. The theatre was one of 13 theatres designed and built by David Fisher which made up a circuit of theatres for his company "The Norfolk and Suffolk Company of Comedians".
The Fisher Theatre was eventually sold by David Fisher in 1844 and has since been used as a corn hall, steam laundry and cinema amongst other things.
In 2001 a group of people got together with a similar idea. To ressurect the Fisher Theatre to its former glory. Through their endless determination, fundraising and hard work the new Fisher Theatre is no longer a dream it a reality.
