Iconic HK theater set for lead role in its new story China Daily Global | Updated: 2021-06-01 07:44 Share CLOSE A vintage-style ticket, hand-drawn posters of old movies and a neon light model of the parabolic truss. A recent immersive exhibition of Hong Kong's iconic theater brought back May Ma's memories of decades ago. Ma, 74, had worked as an usher and ticket seller in the State Theater for 19 years since 1978. In the exhibition last month, the original glamour of the theater that closed in 1997 was restored in front of Ma and many other visitors. Over 100 artifacts, including movie handbills and staff uniforms, were on display to show the theater's cultural landscape of the old days.
