This year the theatre turns 40.  We've embarked on an archiving project to collect and complete the 40 year history of the building known as Northern Stage, Newcastle Playhouse and the University Theatre.

We have many programmes, posters, photographs and employee lists, but we don't have them all.  We're launching a public campaign to help Complete the History of Northern Stage.

If you have anything related to the building - printed materials, photographs, memories - we'd love to hear from you.  Copies of the items or information you give us will go towards an exhibition that will appear around the building throughout the year, an online history and archive and be catalogued and documented by our dedicated staff.

We will always return original items; we will scan or photograph them for use online and in the exhibition.

Printed Materials and Photographs
Please bring any materials in to the building in an envelope marked "Archive" and hand them in at box office.  You can post items to us at Complete the History, Northern Stage, Barras Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RH.  Please include a self addressed envelope. Whilst we will make every effort to ensure your items are secure we cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage due to posting.

Memories
We'd like to hear what you remember about the building; where things used to be; who used to work here; which theatre companies have visited and what you've seen.  Please email these to info@northernstage.co.uk or post them to Complete the History, Northern Stage, Barras Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RH.
