Princess Theatre History

The Princess Theatre, South Devon's largest theatre, first opened its doors on Wednesday 7 June 1961. In 1963 The Beatles appeared live on stage singing the then newly released single “She Loves You” causing some hysteria in the town! Big musical productions have thrilled our audiences and icons of the stage and screen including Sir Roger Moore, Elaine Page, Joan Collins and the beloved Joan Rivers, have also graced our stage.
