Theatre Division Report: Objecllves, slrnle8les and a¢lMtla The Theatre Division of Stsrburst Foundation exists to promote the enjoyment of the arts to the local community, train future perfonncrs, teclmicians, and Creatives, and raise money to fund life-cnhancing equipment for disabled children in the local arca. In 2023124 we aimcd to meet these objcctivcs through two pritnary activitie5: a Summer prnduction and a ClwA8tm&8 pantomime. Alongside these activities, the theatre division planned to use soci81 media and local events to publicise our activities and the activities and objectives of thc whole Foundation. Achlevements l￿dperfor￿Nnr¢ Summer 2023 Starburst, 5tsged another one of the popular ¢abaret-Style shows perfonned at The Harlington in fleet from 5th - 8th July 2023. titled 'Nou8hty Nineties.. For this production we sold 521 tkckets. which was approximately 6￿/• of our totsl capacity for the run and up 5ty/0 on sales for the cabaret perfornied in 2022. This generated an income of £7J96. With show fees and Fronl of House added and all costs deductrf we flnished the produdion with £2371.64 of profit for Starburst Foundation. This production was a success and gave more performer5 the opportunity to Showcase their ski]15 due to the llatI￿e of rehearsals and the amount of content in the Show. Page 2

Starburst FoundatlOD Trnstees, Report Panto 2023 Fleet Panto 2023 was Dick Whittington and the theatre division was d¢lern)in¢d, as ever, to build upon the su¢¢e&8es of previous shows. We auditioned a]most 100 perforniers and began rehearsals in September, with the show running from 9th- 29th D¢¢¢mber &t The Harlington. The production sold SJ86 tlekets, wkn'ch was around IOVO up on last year. This equaled £8S093.75' which shows that panto continues to have a steady increase in profits each year. This year we didn't charge our cast show fees due to the high level of ¢ommil)nent we are asking from perforniers, so ticket sales Combined with Front of House. matched donations, and cbarity show tickets. produced an astounding £87,780.80. In a Cost of living crisis, and with a budget that was generally higher due to increased costs, and in a year that bas been hugely fmancially testing for Starburst due to other fmancial avenues, it's a great achievement and everyone involved ID the production should be extremely proud. This goes to show that StaTburst continues to produce high-quality productions year OD year, helpin8 to raise money for local children and bringing the arts lo the local ommunity. As per our objectives, w¢ utilised local events to promote the work of the company and the th¢itre division's a￿1vitIes. Th¢s¢ events included Farnham Chri51mas Light Swilch-on and Fleet Festivities. We also met our objective of working with new ¢reativ¢s as we welcomed Henry to the company as our Musical Director for panto, and we wiu ¢on¢inu¢ ￿ fmd and nurture new talent in all areas of our produ¢lion5 goin8 forwar including casl member Jonika who has volunteered to write a script alongside direct Repxe for our 2024 pantomime, Cinderella. Throughout the process of every production, we learn valuable lessons that are takeD fomrl eDSurin8 the theatre division is always evolvin8 and aimiD8 to beat the success of the previous show. We do this through regulor meetings and ¢heck-in, and most importantly by a d¢bri¢f meeting once the production has closed. This y&gr I have also intn)duced a cast and crew 'feedback fonn, to eDable feedback from a wider range of people such as cast, parents and all volunteers from all aspects of the show, so that during the debrief process we have w¢ll rounded feedback from different perspective8. I would like to take a moment to whole-heartedly thank everyone that made panto and the summer production possible. From production and creative, to tech and chaperones, Front of House and ban￿ and everyone that stepped on sta8¢. Without everyone donating their time and expertise to create a brilliant Show, we would not bave had such an overwhelmingly positiv¢ response from our audiences. As a division ￿ rely entirely OD volunteers who kindly donat¢ th¢ir tim¢ and knowledge, and this is never taken for granted. The fvture looks bright for Starburst Theatre Company as we enter 2024125. When I rejotned the committ¢¢ in April 2023 1 had some plams for how I wanted to shape th¢ company. having previously been the Theatr¢ Director for 5 yeats between 2014 & 20191 have had the pleasure of watching the company grow tremendously and after some time away to give bit1b to a human being I was energis¢d with a new drive to pusb us even further. In 2025 Starburst Theatre Company will be perforniing our summer musical in a bigger, and we hope, ore exciting venue - Camberley Theatre.
