This received, again, large audiences, as the weather was very kind to us and stayed dry the whole weekend in July! Work started in September on our Mainstage show for the Muni. We decided to try and cut costs and do a review show. The show was very well received from small, but appreciative audiences. Our Park show ’23 -Aesop’s Fables didn’t do too well because of the weather. Our first day had to be cancelled and we only got a couple of shows in on the second day. Again, small, but appreciative audiences. Our company had a try-out of some of the show though at Colne’s summer festival in Alkincoates Park, a couple of weeks earlier. The show itself was very good. It was a shame the weather killed it. We currently have 29 Active members in the Youth Theatre (Jan 2024). ## **PERFORMANCE ACADEMY** We currently have 68 students attending PA on Saturday mornings. Attendance has been good across the academy. We were invited to take part in the Hospice fundraiser event in Barrowford park – Pendle witchfest. Our performance academy older groups and Fringe company performed some musical theatre numbers. Christmas ’22 all classes were offered the opportunity of taking our in-house drama awards. The majority of students did take them with great results. Dec ’22 we were invited to produce a ‘flash mob’ performance down at the Nelson and Colne College’s winter fair event. This was very well received. We also ran a chocolate tombola for Stage Door funds and had information available about what we do. We generated quite a bit of interest in Stage Door. In March ’23, our younger classes took musical theatre exams with a brand-new examination company – NEA. The examiner was lovely and passed on lots of positive comments about our students and their abilities. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to use them again as we don’t have enough groups and soloists to warrant paying the private exam session. Also in March, some of our performance academy members were selected to appear at The Muni with Colne Orchestra. They did scene selections and narrations to link with the orchestra’s themes. They behaved impeccably and performed really well. Some of our academy members appeared at the Nelson Culture Festival in June ’23. We invited parents in to see some end of term work in July. ## **FRINGE COMPANY** Our younger company presented the musical OZ in November ‘22. The show was fantastic, and very well attended. Our Fringe company are a very enthusiastic company and work really hard on their shows. Some of our Fringe members appeared at the Nelson Culture Festival in June ‘23. Currently has 34 active members. (Jan ’24) ## **HAF / HOLIDAY CLUBS** Summer ’22 was a holiday camp for our own SD members – no HAF. We can’t run a summer HAF club as we have to deliver 4 weeks, and with our Edinburgh trip, we cant fit 4 weeks in. The summer club saw our attendees staging a show at The Little Theatre after only a week’s work! It was a great little show based on Glee. We ran a successful Christmas Camp – Dec ’22 and Easter Camp - easter ’23. We were full for HAF places (12). Lots of themed activities and guest creatives. We had a glass artist on Christmas camp, Easter hat competitions, lots of games and activities and of course Easter Egg hunt! ## **LAMDA ACTING CLASSES** 5 private acting lesson students took solo exams with the NEA examination board. They all received Distinctions! I of our students took both acting and Musical theatre – gaining distinctions in both. ## **SINGING ENSEMBLE** Singing Ensemble had 12 members. They were invited to perform a joint concert with the Colne Orpheus male Choir. They all sang beautifully and were well received by the audience. They appeared at the Little Theatre in September ‘22 with our adult company. They shared act one with the adults singing a variety of musical theatre and pop songs. Audiences loved it! Our singing Ensemble also appeared at the Nelson Culture Festival in June ’23. ## **ENIGMA EDINBURGH COMPANY** We had a fantastic run up at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Our 22 cast were our 2[nd] team to take because of the pause due to the pandemic. Our ‘Game On’ team thoroughly enjoyed their week and had an amazing experience. We sold a good number of tickets. I wrote the show, and it was received very well by the Edinburgh audiences. Our Enigma ’22 company won the Derrik award for Best Young Cast in the 2022 festival Fringe. ## **ADULT COMPANY** Our Adult company had 10 members. They produced a one act play in September ’22 called Slim Chance. We had great audiences, and the all the adults’ profits goes back to the youth theatre. June ’23 our adults mounted another play – Drinking Habits. This time they did a full play with a cast of 7 and co-directed by myself and Andrew Husband. ## **OTHER** - Residential Home visits at Christmas - Bag packing - Colne BID - Soapbox challenge – June ‘23 Charity registration number 1194728 Stage Door Youth Theatre Appendix A Independent Examiners Report ## **LEEDAMS' PHARMACY** 71-73,Keighley Road Colne Lancashire BB8 0QF 10th January, 2024 Dear Leroy, Having examined the Detailed Financial Summary, Balance Sheet and Budget for the financial year ending March, 2023, I can state that all figures appear to be in order.
