Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The society had a successful year in all of our main areas. We staged three adult drama productions and three youth drama and musical productions which were well attended and received positive feedback from both audience and participants. About sixty members were actively involved in helping to run the society either in performing roles or backstage, front of house and theatre maintenance. The film society ran a successful season of film showings and also ran a season of afternoon showings aimed at older people in our community.
The youth theatre has about seventy members ranging in age from 7 to 18. They have regular drama sessions on Saturdays and put on three successful shows in the year.
The theatre was regularly hired during the year by outside clubs, musical acts and drama groups.It was also used for various events during the Annual Bawtry Arts Festival in June. This variety of activities enables us to attract audiences from all sections of the local population. It also offers a great facility for the use of many individuals and organisations in the local community at a reasonable fee or, often, free of charge.
We also run a weekly workshop for local people to come and use their various skills to help build sets for the plays and to maintain the theatre building.
