          Gainford Drama Club was formed in 1949 and since that time members have presented nearly 150 productions. The first four plays took place in the Montalbo Rooms, now the Village Hall, but in 1950 the club was granted a lease for its current location, The Academy Theatre (High Green, Gainford). The building was originally a school where its most famous pupil, Stan Laurel of "Laurel and Hardy", attended. Appropriate, perhaps, then that it should become a theatre.
