Curtain Up! the exhibition is a visual snapshot of the Auckland theatre scene from the 1950s to the 1980s.
In this track we feature Georgia Prince from Auckland Libraries, life time actor Elizabeth McRae, esteemed playwrite Roger Hall and the woman who has played every role in theatre... the irrepressible Jocelyn McQuaid!
Auckland Libraries heritage collections specialist Georgia Prince provides us with an overview and background to the exhibition while Elizabeth, Roger and Jocelyn all offer their response to seeing the exhibition and discuss the importance of collecting and archiving.
