Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Milton Keynes AOS continues to be led by and organised by an Executive Committee, drawing on the skills and resources of others where necessary.

2021 -2022 was a difficult but rewarding year, as we began to emerge from the restrictions of covid and the National Lockdown.

With careful controls and a reduced and restricted cast, we were able to go ahead with our planned pantomime Cinderella in December 2021. Our audiences were more cautious with the covid measures but with careful budgeting we were able to return a respectable overall profit

We also held fresh auditions and appointed a new production team, to eventually stage our twice postponed production of Shrek The Musical in June 2022. This was a great success and at a managed loss, offset against by strong attendance at the box office. Shrek the Musical would later be nominated for the NODA Best Regional Musical Award.

For the year ahead, we have the Production Team in place for our pantomime in December 2022 and as confidence in the market returns, we are putting plans in place for a larger musical in June 2024
