We’re delighted to be launching our centenary history book, Different Stages: Celebrating 100 Years of the Huddersfield Thespians, 1920-2020.
The book has been written by Huddersfield Local History Society’s Dr Christine Verguson, and has a wealth of photos and stories from the first hundred years of Thespian activity. It’s a fascinating account of a century of amateur theatre, for members, non-members and anyone with an interest in Huddersfield and local history.
“Researching what can only be described as the Society’s vast archive which is in the care of the West Yorkshire Archive Service, and through talking to Society members past and present, I got to know something of the determination, comradeship and a love of all aspects of theatrical production which has meant that the Huddersfield Thespians are still here to bring good quality drama to the town.”
Dr Christine Verguson, local historian
