TYLDESLEY LITTLE THEATRE (TLT)

Trustees’ Annual Report: 2024-25

After a very difficult start to the season when we were forced to cancel the first play, the remainder of the season turned out to be very successful despite casting problems in the final play. We continue to enjoy good audience attendance with an on-going constant 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 24 hours of going on sale. We consider that this is due to us continuing to offer a good quality production at a reasonable price, so that we attract patrons to the theatre who may not either be able to afford the ticket price or even the cost of transport to a city centre venue.

Our plans of building improvement continued with the replacement of the auditorium suspended ceiling in which we incorporated a new insulation layer in the hope that it not only saved the society money, but also helped the environment. We also removed rotten, powdering plasterwork on our balcony (revealing a previously unknown fireplace) and repainted all the walls. This has not only improved the comfort and experience of our members, but of course our patrons. We continue to accumulate funds with a view to having future very expensive jobs done, along with planning for the eventual replacement of the roof of the building which continues to be of concern along with replacing the metal safety rail along the front of the balcony with a safety glass panel.

As mentioned in last year’s report, as with all businesses in general, rising costs continue to affect the theatre. However, due to prudent financial management, we continue to provide entertainment to the local community without having to increase our ticket prices. We continue to be mindful of having to remain financially secure due to inflation and rising general costs.

On the whole the theatre is in a sound position both financially and physically due to solid management and continued forward planning.
