Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This year saw the society perform in front of near maximum audiences . It was a worry for the society this year because it was the first performance after the Covid break and as covid was still prevalent it was always a worry that the show might have to be cancelled at any time. However, despite cast members still contracting the virus, the show went on without a hitch. We also had competition from a professional show a few weeks before we were due to begin, however this appeared to have little effect due to our loyal following.
It is estimated the theatre was 90% full over 12 performances which meant that a solid income was also achieved. The profit achieved was also a near record. The society was initially concerned because the 2020 year saw a slight fall in patrons but the decision to put on the show after a lockdown period during the year reaped its benefits, The society was nominated for several NODA awards for its previous pantomimes and are awaiting any nominations for this show. The society members attend local events to promote the show The Company was therefore delighted with the outcome of this year’s performances despite making a small loss.
