1 Aims and Objectives

The Society’s main objectives were to educate our Members in dramatic and operatic Arts and further the development of the public appreciation and taste in the said arts. This was achieved by promoting the works performed during the year and described below.

The Society was organised and managed by the Management Committee and Officers (the Trustees) with constant interaction and full support and dedication of the whole membership. The members met regularly throughout the year to learn and practice in the arts of performing works intended to be of educational value to the public.

The Society contained and operated as an adult portion and a junior portion with full integration as and when required depending upon the works in progress. The Management Committee acted as the constant interface.

For this year the Society presented two production – A full concert with the senior and junior sections in March 2022 and Shrek the Musical by the Adult Section performed in the Carnegie Theatre, Workington. This production was well received by the General Public with every night apart from one a sell out for Shrek.

The Society has its own premises where rehearsals and other activities which included fund raising were carried out.

Some minor changes in the Organisation since last year

We welcome to the management committee – Andrew McMinn and Norma who joined early in 2022 and our newest members are Chloe Harkness and Jen Hawley-McGee – as leads for Publicity and Juniors.
