A spectacular vision of how a new cinema complex for Montrose would look like has been revealed.
The Montrose Playhouse Project released a 3D image of the approved frontage for the Playhouse ahead of a funding drive.
Interior images will also be put out in the coming weeks as excitement builds following a successful planning application with Angus Council.
It would have the ability to stream live events like ballet performances, comedy, sports events and concerts. There would also be space for an arts centre, restaurant, a bar and meeting rooms.
Over a year in the making, the community-led project seeks to raise around £2 million in order to transform the town’s old, unused swimming pool off North Street into an entertainment venue for the region.
Next month, Montrose resident Lynn McComiskie plans to do a sponsored swim in Loch Lomond to raise cash for the Montrose Playhouse Project charity which was already gifted a £10,000 lottery grant from Firstport in January in order to bring in a consultant.
Independent cinema consultant Ron Inglis was hired to prepare a full business plan and feasibility study.
“Everyone we speak to in the town wants this to happen,” said Trevor Eakin of the Montrose Playhouse Project.
