King's Theatre
The King's Theatre is located in Glasgow, Scotland on the corner of Bath Street and Elmbank Street, in the Charing Cross area of the city. The longer Bath Street elevation houses the main entrance, the scenery dock and stage door and the equally decorative but shorter Elmbank Street elevation has various fire exits and the entrance to the Gallery.
It was constructed for Howard & Wyndham Ltd under its chairman Baillie Michael Simons as a sister theatre of their Theatre Royal, Glasgow and was designed by Frank Matcham, being opened in 1904. The theatre is mainly a receiving house for touring musicals, dance, comedy and circus-type performances. The theatre also provides a prominent stage for local amateur performances. The King's Theatre also stages an annual pantomime, produced by First Family Entertainment
The theatre is currently run by the Ambassador Theatre Group, under a lease from Glasgow City Council who owns the building.
The theatre offers seating on four levels - Stalls, Grand Circle, Upper Circle and Gallery. The auditorium has a capacity of 1,785 seats. The ceiling paneling fans out from a single centre ceiling rose - each panel originally contained painted scenes, although they are currently plain. The proscenium is encircled by heavy marble and plasterwork borders. Above the proscenium an stylish design with cherubs flanking a crown and a K/T emblem provides a center point to the theatre when the curtain is down.
In early 2008, the management of the King's Theatre announced that a full program of interior restoration was planned, to regain the theatre’s former glory, in time for the Commonwealth Games that the city is to host in 2014.
