To celebrate 100 years of Her Majesty’s Theatre the Long Live The Maj exhibition will be cranking up the scale and the quantity.
More than 50 previously unseen behind the scenes photographs will be projected onto the side of the Theatre in Pitt St, Adelaide, adjacent to the exhibition venue, The Hotel Metropolitan.
On Mon September 2nd this will coincide with the live radio broadcast from the Theatre by Peter Goers from 891 ABC Adelaide and on Friday September 6th this will be convenient for those out and about in the Grote St and Central Market area. Both nights the projections will loop continuously between 6.30pm and 10.30pm.

With the exhibition being held in a pub it seemed appropriate to produce some beer coasters. Have a look for them at the venue.
House Lights
House Lights
Another 40th Anniversary event, House Lights was been created by The Electric Canvas and featured a looping presentation that wrapped around the roof of the Adelaide Festival Centre. Photographs from the Backstage Pass Exhibition were selected to represent Theatre Craft. The images were cropped to fit the unusual angles of the Adelaide Festival Theatre roof. The projections were displayed every night for the month of June, 2013.
Visit The Electric Canvas website for additional photographs.
A special thank you to Peter Stewart for braving the cold to take some of the photographs below.

When will this project end? As the focus was to document the activity behind the scenes it now seems only appropriate that the Visual Arts team are captured in action.
