## **– ARTISTIC DIRECTORS ANNUAL REPORT AUG 2023 JULY 2024** 

## **YOUTH THEATRE** 

Work started in September on our Mainstage show – We Will Rock You - to be presented at our local large theatre – the Pendle Hippodrome. The show ran in April 2024 and sold out on two occasions. It was very well received and audiences left fantastic feedback for the production. 

We were invited to work with our local hospice – Pendleside Hospice for a second year. Janet, Artistic Director wrote the scenes for the woodland trail, as part of the Hospice’s fundraising Halloween event. Again, volunteers from our mainstage company and performance academy took on roles from James and the Giant Peach and other characters in an original text that entertained audiences and gave them clues to solving problems throughout their sponsored walk. We contributed our time and assisted the Hospice in fundraising over £15,000 through the event. 

We were involved with the Winter in Bloom event for Colne Town’s BID. Volunteers from both our mainstage company and our junior company worked on a parade dance as Mice. They did a fantastic job, and again we received excellent feedback from the public and community. 

Because of the weather the previous year of our summer show – we decided to present an indoor event. This was held at Colne Little Theatre and saw audiences of just over 150 over the weekend. 

We currently have 32 Active members in the Youth Theatre (Jan 2025). 

## **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 Towneley Park, Burnley – Pendleside Pumpkin trail. Our performance academy older groups and Junior company performed some musical theatre numbers. 

In December, we appeared at several local events leading up to Christmas. 

Some of our academy members appeared at the Nelson Culture Festival in July ’24. 

We invited parents in to see some end of term work in July. 



## **JUNIOR COMPANY** 

Our younger company presented the musical PETER PAN in November ‘23. The show was fantastic, and very well attended. Our Junior company are a very enthusiastic company and work really hard on their shows. 

Some of our Junior members have appeared at several local events including Colne Lights Switch on, Barnoldswick Lights switch on and the Nelson Culture Festival in July ‘24. 

Currently has 32 active members. (Jan ’25) 

## **HAF / HOLIDAY CLUBS** 

Summer ’24 we managed to run a HAF club as we could deliver 3 weeks instead of 4. It was well attended by children on the free school meal registers locally. We delivered a variety of activities which included crafts, and performing. 

We ran a successful Christmas Camp – Dec ’23 and Easter Camp - easter ’24. We were full for HAF places (12). Lots of themed activities and guest creatives. We had a glass artist on Christmas camp again as it was very well received by participants, Easter hat competitions, lots of games and activities and of course Easter Egg hunt! 

## **ENIGMA EDINBURGH COMPANY** 

We had a fantastic run up at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Our ‘23 cast were our 3[rd] team to attend the festival. Our ‘Jabberwocky’ team thoroughly enjoyed their week and had an amazing experience. We sold a good number of tickets. and it was received very well by the Edinburgh audiences. 

Our Enigma ’23 company won the Derrik award for Best Young Cast in the 2023 festival Fringe. 

## **ADULT COMPANY** 

Our Adult company had 9 members. They produced two one act plays in December ‘23 called Flushed and The Ladybirds. We used a new venue – a local village hall which saw new audiences supporting our fundraising venture. 

We had great audiences, and the all the adults’ profits goes back to the youth theatre. 

June ’24 our adults mounted another play – Stepping Out. This time they did a full play with a cast of 10 and co-directed by Janet Philbrook and Andrew Husband. 

## **OTHER**
