Their fixed seating was originally donated by the Theatre Royal in Brighton more than 30 years ago, and will be re-upholstered and repaired during their short summer break. Award-winning performing arts group, Seaford Musical Theatre, are encouraging people to come forward to dedicate a seat in the memory of a loved one or as a special gift. A plaque inscription on the back of each chair could be the words to a favourite song, the name of a family member or pet, a first theatre experience or a cryptic message. The theatre is also home to the very popular Seaford Community Cinema. Sponsors will be invited to a VIP Variety Show to re-open the venue on September 7.
