Our intentions to take a show week at the Altrincham Little Theatre, prior to Christmas 2024 were unfortunately dented by a number of factors, and we had to cancel our plans before incurring any detrimental costs. This did leave us with a gap in our expected revenues for the fiscal year. In February 2025, we welcomed Ed Prophet as director of our first show of the year. Ed took on the reins of Stephen Sondheim’s Company at the Altrincham Little Theatre, part of a two week Sondheim mini-season where we shared the stage and billing with SMAOS who performed A Little Night Music the week prior to us. Ticket sales were eventually quite strong and the production was a resounding success. Tim Wood who played Bobby was presented with the Liam Sammon Award for Outstanding Performance at the after-show presentation and the whole cast was awarded the Peter Clough Comedy Award in recognition of their collective performances. The shows’ success was further recognised later in the year by receiving twelve NODA nominations. We completed our season of productions with our annual Showcase performance at the Lowry Theatre in July, performing excerpts from Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret, again to excellent reviews and audience appreciation. During the year, Phil Callaghan stepped down as Secretary and away from day-to-day society management and Jill Chamberlain took up the reins of that post. Ed Prophet joined the management committee. We are currently looking for a new treasurer and would ideally like to recruit a large number of additional volunteers to the day-to-day management committee. We will shortly be kicking off a social media driven recruitment campaign to hopefully fill some of these positions. Our next year (25/26) has started brightly with Chicago (Teen) at the ALT in December 25, followed closely by Allo Allo (The Play) in March 26 and a further visit to the Lowry in July 26 to perform excerpts from Spamalot. Thank you to all of the trustees and management team for your continued support throughout the year – it has been hugely appreciated.
