Review of the year
Legally Blonde was a show which reached out to a newer audience and sales were the best since post-Covid. We anticipated higher costs with the Orchestra and the Society came together and performed a concert to mitigate this cost. However with the general increase in costs and self-run foyer services we faced a loss of income out of our control. Financial decisions made by the Committee moving forward will be crucial to financial success and the ability for the Society to remain financially stable.
On behalf of the St. Austell A.O.S.
