I grew up playing with an original Webb theatre although sadly since those days, the the theatre has long gone to a collector in the USA.

I love hearing about the history and the stirling work Sarah Webb and Laurie Webb have done to preserve the name and history.

I continue to enjoy toy theatres in an amateur way as I build them with children – an art that should never die.

Thank you

Toy theatres are something i know very little about but i can see the appeal. I know there are people who do collect them from their earliest designs.
Thank you.
