ultimately successful year during which STC had to manage the risks of
rescheduling and relocating its show, Sunshine on Leith, due to Reinforced
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) issues at The Core Theatre in Solihull.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
In 2023/24 Solihull Theatre Company rehearsed and performed Sunshine on
Leith. The rescheduling and relocation of the show (due to RAAC issues with its
usual theatre) adversely affected production costs and tickets sales, which fell
from 1,878 for its 2023 show Sister Act to 1,417. As a consequence, STC
declared a Loss on Show (after Theatre Tax Credits) of £3,209. Subscriptions,
fund-raising activities and other income contributed a further £7,610 resulting
in a Total Surplus for the Year of £4,401, which has been added to reserves.
The cast numbered 40 in total with several new members taking part in the
production. The live orchestra consisted of seven musicians. Stage
management, wardrobe, make-up and front of house services were provided by
STC non-performing members and volunteers.
Section E
,Financial review
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves
A Total Surplus for the Year of £4,401 increased STC reserves from £71,364 to
£75,765.
The charity operates on the basis that any given show should break even. That
is to say tickets sales, which are STC'S main source of income, should cover the
cost of producing the show. Any surplus that is generated will be reinvested in
the company's future activities.
If the charity had to be dissolved, any net assets remaining would be
transferred to other charitable institutions with similar objectives to the STC or,
failing that, to other charitable purposes as agreed by the Trustees.
