We have achieved our goal of increasing participation through increasing the opportunrties that we have provided for our members, for example, we have moved from one musical production on a yeady basis to three productions a year. TY￿ of these produdions take the shape of plays, which provide a different platfonn of approach wtthin the perfoming arts sector. wrthin the play section we have strtved to provide opportunrties for those who have interests in the medium of ading through script and text. This has given members of the communty an increased opportunrty to upskill themselves through the engagement of genre, style and language. It has also given the ￿mrnunty an opportunity to view theatre work that is accessible to them within their area of resideno, therefore reducing their travel time and expenditure.
