Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Due to the Covid pandemic both the Spring and Autumn productions for 2021 were once again cancelled as was that for the Youth Company as we were unable to hold rehearsals.
The studio was not used until September when we worked in planning a charity Christmas Concert held at Emmanuel Church, Worthing.
September also allowed us to hold auditions and start rehearsals for our Spring 2022 production.
The Youth Company returned to occasional workshops during July and began their weekly workshops in September.
