– ARTISTIC DIRECTORS ANNUAL REPORT AUG 2024 JULY 2025
YOUTH THEATRE
Work started in September on our Mainstage show – Chicago - to be presented at our local large theatre – the Pendle Hippodrome.
The show ran in April 2025 and had very well attended audiences. 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 third year as part of their fundraising Halloween event in October 2024. Janet, Artistic Director wrote the scenes for the woodland trail, based on the children’s book –‘Pumpkin Soup’ Again, volunteers from our mainstage company and performance academy took on roles and help to devise the scenes from the book to create 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 in February 2025. Volunteers from both our mainstage company and our junior company learnt how to stilt walk! They worked with professional stilt walkers from Handmade Productions over a few weeks, then joined the final parade on the day. They did a fantastic job, and again we received excellent feedback from the public and community.
In July ’25 we performed Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’ in a local park – Victoria Park for the Pendle Community. This is a free event for families and advertised across the whole Pendle area. We had in the region of 500 audience members of all ages attend throughout the weekend over 4 performances.
We currently have 42 Active members in the Youth Theatre (Jan 2026).
PERFORMANCE ACADEMY
We currently have 62 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 again. Our performance academy older groups and Junior company performed some musical theatre numbers.
In November and December, we appeared at several local events leading up to Christmas, which included performing in residential homes. We were also lucky enough to be asked to perform alongside the ‘Dreamcoat stars’ in their professional touring show, which had an evening at The Muni Theatre in Colne, In November.
JUNIOR COMPANY
Our younger company presented the musical Finding Nemo Jr in November ‘24. 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 Christmas Lights Switch on and Barnoldswick Christmas Lights switch on.
Junior Company Currently has 32 active members. (Jan ’26)
HAF / HOLIDAY CLUBS
Summer ’25 we managed to run a HAF club once again 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 ’24 and Easter Camp - Easter ’25. We were full for HAF places (10). Lots of themed activities and guest creatives. We had a glass artist on Easter camp and 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 ‘24 cast were our 4[th] team to attend the festival. Our ‘Chicken Little’ team thoroughly enjoyed their week and had an amazing experience. We used a new venue to us for our ’24 cast – The Space on the Mile. We sold a good number of tickets. and it was received very well by the Edinburgh audiences.
ADULT COMPANY
Our Adult company had 9 members. They spent the year supporting our youth theatre performances and fundraising.
