A preview of the four portraits...
In addition, the weekend will see the unveiling of a new portrait collection in the main auditorium. The four pieces of original art by local artist Shane Johnstone feature stars of stage and screen who have a strong association with the Winter Gardens from years gone by. The identities of the stars are being kept secret for now, so we are offering you a small glimpse of each of the portraits as a preview – to find out who they are, visit the theatre this weekend!
