The sound is missing from this interesting report on the setting up of the Lurgan Theatre Club. However, by researching newspapers of the period we can find that the idea for the premises was hatched in 1962 by Wolsey Gracey, a Lurgan dramatist who had appeared on the radio. Supported by a local group known as the Brownlow Players he set out to find permanent premises in order to increase their output from one play a year to one performance a week. The report shows that they were ultimately successful and ready for opening night by March 1963. It would seem from newspaper archives that they managed to keep going until the early 1970s.
