Just found the site, just found the thread.
1. Barry Cryer was the Chairman at Players Theatre many years ago...
How Long? Well his hair was black then!! See 6. below.
2. I performed at the Players some years back in the 'Old Pals' show...members of the theatre group.
3. There is a real music hall in Hackney still running but doesn't tend to put on Music Hall shows.
4. There is a Music Hall company in 'Brick Lane', east London.
5. Players theatre group is still running but not at the 'Arches' theatre.
6. History: There was a real Husic Hall under Charing Cross Station and another owned by the same person in the Strand. Names escape me for the moment. Years later the Players opened up at the 'Under the arches' theatre but it was taken over by builders and is now a Financial Company's offices. As a 'favour' a new thratre was built further up the arches for the Players to use. It was however owned by the council there.

Feel free to ask for more information, I should be a member soon.
