## 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 have been three productions – Avenue Q - Directed by Mark Howard and Hannah Bates, Musical Direction by Ed Rugman; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – Directed by Kirsty Chapman with choreography by Anne Arkwright and Musical Direction by Craig Smith; The Addams Family – Directed by Jane Tudor, Musical Direction by Bruce McLaren and choreography by Lorna Cookson – our grateful thanks go to the various creative teams and production teams for all three. Ticket sales for all three productions were exceptional and the shows were loved and enjoyed by audiences. Thanks must also go to Carol May and the Carol May Academy for their involvement in the pantomime
## NODA AWARDS
We once again thrilled to receive nominations for the annual District 2 NODA Awards for the following:
Avenue Q; Best Female Character Comedy Performance (Joyce Foster), Best Supporting Male Comedy Character (Shannon Michelle), Best Director (Mark Howard & Hannah Bates), Best Musical Director (Ed Rugman), Best Ensemble, Best Musical, Best Programme – Peacock Class.
Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs; Best Villain (Kate Parkes), Best Dame (Phil Tomlinson), Best Supporting Performance (Jack Price), Best Leading Performance (Amy Christmas), Best Director (Kirsty Chapman), Best Choreographer (Anne Arkwright), Best Musical Director (Craig Smith), Best Pantomime.
On the night we attended the awards dinner at Viva Blackpool with a contingent of 24 members and friends of the Society, and were pleased to say that both Kate Parkes and Shannon Michelle won their respective awards. A big congratulations to all nominated and to our winners!
## PMCS SINGERS
The Singers under the musical direction of Bruce McLaren have continued to meet on Tuesday evenings. They performed with Freckleton Band at the Christmas Cavalcade at Preston Playhouse and have increased their repertoire. They also began rehearsing for the society’s 70th anniversary dinner being held in September 2024. The singers continue to seek new members and welcome anyone who wants to join them
## BOARD OF TRUSTEES UPDATE
The news on the Guildhall took some interesting turns with RAAC (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) being discovered in the Charter Theatre and Guildhall. This has further delayed the reopening of both venues which means the society’s home for musicals is still Preston Playhouse. The Guildhall hope to open the Main Hall bar for entertainment in the autumn of 2024. The BoT continues to investigate other venues within Preston and surrounding areas
## 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 continues to represent the Society on the Board and attends regular meetings ensuring the Society’s voice is heard and safeguard the theatre operations. Dec and Mark continue to represent us on the Playhouse Promotions sub-committee and Mark also sits on the Playhouse Marketing group and looks after social media for the venue
Making sure the venue remains open and functioning is a focus for both the Playhouse Board and the BoT for the Society. Trustees, with help from other society members, cover front of house, bar & technical duties
Page 6 of 12
ANNUAL REPORT
for visiting groups and one night performances. This involves a few evenings a year and is vital so the Playhouse can keep its doors open and for the Society to have a performance venue
With the new bank account in place the BoT voted to open further savings account for medium and long term investing to ensure there is a pot of money available to cover any eventualities
Various Social events were organised throughout the year with more planned to the next year including a 70th anniversary picnic and the platinum dinner for September 2024 organised by Lloyd Bamber and Luke Taberer with support from a BoT sub-committee
## UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS
The Board of Trustees continued developing the pantomime Cinderella for our 70th anniversary year and voted to secure the rights for Little Shop of Horrors for 2025 at the Playhouse. We also began plans for 2026 with details to be released once the license is granted.
The BoT wishes to record its grateful thanks to members and non-members who assist with all aspects of production – front of house, backstage, wardrobe, props, technical and every other aspect of putting on a show. The society is nothing without their help and assistance
As we celebrate our 70th Anniversary we ask all members to maintain their membership and support the society in any way they can
