East London Technical College Drama Club
East London Technical College Drama Club, an amateur dramatic society in East London (circa 1946 - 1962).
Founding, function and history
The East London Technical College Drama Club was established circa 1946. The club was involved in providing local theatre entertainment in the city. The Drama Club performed straight plays, plays by Shakespeare, and presented dance shows.
In the early 1950's, they were joined by the Dramatic Society of East London, East London Schools Music and Drama Association, the Music and Variety Club and the Children’s Theatre to raise funds toward the building of what was to be the Guild Theatre.
The Music and Variety Club and the East London Technical College Drama Club amalgamated on 29 June 1962 with the Arts Theatre Club being its new name.
