The Local - Mt VictoriaA new explanatory panel has been unveiled that shares stories from the history of the Embassy theatre.
The panel, created by the Mount Victoria Historical Society, and funded by the Society plus a number of donors, was unveiled as part of the Wellington Heritage Festival events to coincide with the centenary of Wellington’s famous theatre.
The panel is located on the Majoribanks Street side of the Embassy Theatre, alongside the existing panel about Mt Victoria’s history.
To help celebrate the centenary, the Wellington City Council collaborated with the Embassy and the Wellington Film Society to offer a free showing of the epic Cecil B. DeMille movie The Ten Commandments, which was the film that opened the cinema in 1924.
