Ham Sandwich programme. It was the home of long-established Crosby Gilbert And Sullivan Society until 2016. Its striking interior has often been used as a location for film and TV productions. Refurbishment In 2005 the theatre closed for refurbishment, with an estimated reopening date of September 2007. In 2007 Liverpool City Council, who lease the Theatre from Mr. David Ramsey owner of the building, commissioned an independent valuation of the Theatre's rental value, after months of negotiations with no progression on the terms of the new lease. The refurbished theatre eventually reopened in May 2012. Since its refurbishment it has hosted pantomimes such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs starring Amanda Harrington from Desperate Scousewives and other charity events.
