Celyn Jones
The first Patron of Theatr Colwyn was the late, great, Terry Jones. Terry, a member of Monty Python, film director, writer and acclaimed medieval historian, was born in Colwyn Bay and remained a proud Welsh man all his life.
He visited Theatr Colwyn many times to show his support at fundraising events, including those raising money for a major front of house redevelopment.
Terry’s last official visit to Theatr Colwyn was to cut the ribbon at the reopening of the theatre, following completion of that redevelopment.
