About the Society

The Preston Musical Comedy Society is a Registered Charity, number 1190937. The objects of the Society are to educate the public in the dramatic and operatic arts, and to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts.

APPENDIX 2 - Trustees Report

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Annual General Meeting of The Preston Musical Comedy Society.

This report, prepared by the trustees, covers the last 12 months of our charity. During the financial year there was one production - Mother Goose at The Preston Playhouse. It was a fantastic production and well supported by our audiences. Our thanks go to the pantomime production team of Mark Howard (Director), Gemma Burns & Hannah Riordan (Choreography) and Dave Thomas (MD). Thanks also to Carol May and her junior chorus and the rest of the cast, crew and volunteers both backstage and front of house. We were very pleased that The Brian Lawson Award for best Team player was awarded to Lauren Twist for this show.

NODA AWARDS

We were thrilled to be nominated for 8 NODA awards following our successful performances of Mother Goose. We were delighted to receive nominations for Best Female Comedy Performance (Eleanor Jolliffe), Best Villain (Hannah Thurston), Best Dame (Dan Haresnape), Best Leading Performance (Jack Price), Best Choreographer (Gemma Burns & Hannah Riordan), Best MD (Dave Thomas), Best Director (Mark Howard), and Best Pantomime.

In addition we knew nominations for Calendar Girls and Goldilocks but had not received results. We are thrilled to advise that at the Awards Dinner in February 2023, we walked away with the following wins; Best Director (Jane Tudor, Calendar Girls), Best Male Comedy (Ronan Pilkington, Calendar Girls), Best Choreographer (Gemma Burns & Hannah Riordan, Mother Goose), Best MD (Dave Thomas, Mother Goose), and Best Pantomime (Mother Goose). A big well done to everyone who was nominated and those who won.

PMCS SINGERS

Show Choir re-established its rehearsals on Wednesday evenings and again were heavily involved in the Christmas Cavalcade concert at the Playhouse. Thanks go again to Bruce McLaren for taking up the baton for the Choir. The Choir also decided to amend their name to the Preston Musical Comedy Society (PMCS) Singers to try and attract more members.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES UPDATE

The news on the Guildhall took some steps forward with the Court Case between the Council and various interested parties being resolved. This clears the way for the Council to action remedial works and start to look at the management of the space for the future. The BoT have expressed an interest in performing again formally to the Council but await details from them as to timescales. This may take a year. We continue to review potential venues

ANNUAL REPORT

As a User Group for the Playhouse and with a seat on the Board of Trustees the Society continues to support our current principal venue. Ruth represents the Society on the Board and attends regular meetings ensuring the Society’s voice is heard. Dec and Mark continue to represent us on the Playhouse Promotions sub-committee and Mark also sits on the Playhouse Marketing group.

Board members and some other Society Members have also supported some events at the Playhouse providing Front of House Managers, Stewards and Bar Staff at a variety of events. Covering these events assists in the continuity of the Playhouse. Once again any member is welcome to be a volunteer and full training will be given.

ANNUAL REPORT

Due to the increase costs of banking at Barclays the BoT voted to move to NatWest who offered a charge free account plus online banking. Liam set up the account for the CIO and funds were transferred and Barclays account closed.

UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS

The Trustees agreed to apply for the licence to perform The Addams Family at The Playhouse in July 2024. This was following a consultation with the membership. Auditions should take place in early 2024 and the Production Team is currently being arranged.

Looking forward beyond Addams Family, we will be producing the pantomime Cinderella for our 70[th] anniversary.

The Society is nothing without the members and we offer a heartfelt thank you for performing, assisting with make-up, costumes, props, directing, choreographing, singing, Stage Managing, welcoming audience members, serving drinks, selling raffle tickets, running tuck shops, handing out leaflets, attending shows and being a great support.
