TYLDESLEY LITTLE THEATRE (TLT)

Trustees’ Annual Report: 2023-24

2023/24 was another very successful year for the society which enjoyed good audience attendance with a stable number of season tickets holders and general patrons attending our productions. Our annual family pantomime continues to be a huge community attraction, with the majority of tickets selling out within the first day of going on sale. This is probably due to us offering a good quality production at a price which is considerably less than professional theatre, so bringing live theatre to those who may not either be able to afford the ticket price or even the cost of transport to a city centre venue.

We continue with our plans to make substantial improvements to the theatre building by replacing our stage, improving and enhancing our heating system and insulating the roof, to improve the comfort and theatre experience of both theatre members and, of course our patrons. We continue to accumulate funds with a view to having these very expensive jobs done, along with planning for the eventual replacement of the roof of the building which continues to be of concern.

As with all charities and businesses in general, rising costs continue to affect the theatre, but due to prudent financial management, we have been able to continue to provide entertainment to the local community without the need to increase our ticket prices. As in previous years, we still need to be mindful of having financial security due to inflation and rising general costs (especially the continuing increase in energy costs).

On the whole the theatre is in a sound position both financially and with onward forward planning.
