## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 10[th] October 2020 Period start date To 9[th] October 2021 Period end date** ## **Charity name: Zenith Youth Theatre Company** ## **Charity registration number: 1169585** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The objectives of the CIO are:-
To educate young people in the
dramatic/musical arts and theatre studies, and
to further the development of public
appreciation and taste in the said arts.
To provide practical experiences in all aspects
of theatre production to young people.
To engage with young people who otherwise
might not see musical theatre as a means of
enhancing life chances and opportunity.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Cast members are tasked to study their
characters and are given guidance on how
these characters are portrayed to the public.
They are asked to practice their dances, songs
and lines outside of the rehearsal process.
Where appropriate, cast members are
encouraged to reflect on how the characters
and the shows values may not ‘fit’ within a
modern society.
Sadly, it was not possible to perform our
planned February show, Chicago, due to Covid
restrictions and so it had to be cancelled.
However, in April we began rehearsals in
person for three shows as part of our ‘Not the
Edinburgh Fringe’ festival. The cast were
placed in one of three shows in order to make
each cast under the 15 allowed to rehearse
socially distanced in our rehearsal hall. These
shows were Wind in the Willows, aimed at a
young audience, Little Shop of Horrors and
Spring Awakening for an over 16 cast and
audience. Each musical was performed 3
times over a 9-day period in an open-air venue
and both the cast and audience were socially
distanced to comply with all current covid
regulations. This proved hugely successful and
gave both the members and volunteers a new
theatre experience and associated challenges
to overcome.
Zenith shows are promoted through website,
social media,word of mouthandleaflet drops| |||across all socio-economic groups in and
around Bath. In addition, we produce a
quarterly newsletter which is available via
email and through our website.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

musicals in this year, as detailed above. They
were well received and were a useful learning
tool for both the cast and the volunteers. Extra
equipment was purchased to enable us to

future productions.
