Richmond: the Globe Theatre with Damian Callinan In Those Days

Penny and Christina are joined by star of stage and screen, Damian Callinan, to talk about stages and screens in Richmond in the olden days. Specifically we read articles from Trove about the Globe Picture Theatre, which was built in 1912 on the site of the current Richmond Library. And musician-of-the pod Tim Carruthers joins us to bring some old sheet music to life.
