CHAIRMANS REPORT
The Last Year 22-23 has been a very interes3ng year for us. We have had an ever improving range of groups a=ending the theatre including those of old and new groups. Audiences appear to have now go=en over the fear of Covid in venues and are a=ending in large numbers to see performances across the year, with mul3ple sell out performances from pantos to musicals plays and more.
Groups hiring trends have changed and I feel the minimum 2 day weekend hire and higher rate for less days than a week has helped support the theatres income during a difficult financial 3me these groups include some dance schools such as ... Some groups have reduced their hire 3mes such as Tameside youth due to increases in rent and u3li3es costs. And some haven’t hired at all this year including RBDA as per there bi annual show. These periods of hire have been some3mes been picked up by other groups however not for the full week leaving us down our expected steady income during 22-23.
We have no3ced a trend of booking performances occurring later and closer to the dates of shows, this could be down to the ini3al covid mentality but also due to financial hardship for some individuals and families.
Prices have increased substan3ally on gas and electric prices which the theatre and groups have had to pass onto audience 3cket prices. Most groups 3ckets have increased in price this last year inline with the bank of England rate increase and in order for them to remain opera3onal.
on what I feel was poor management and understanding of situa3ons they put the theatre in along with their own individual members. A tough and upseRng decision was made by all to request a temporary absence, based on their response and contact from their solicitors le=er and lack of understanding and support for the Charity along with some personal a=acks towards individuals on our current commi=ee in their final months. At no point have we said they would be unwelcome to return to the building in the future, however I feel once powers that be and management change, we may hopefully be able to support Hyde Li=le Theatre again along with their members, in developing the future of theatre and youth development and progression. I would like to wish the group all the best for the future and hope they are able to get their house back in order to their original values and behaviours towards good quality theatre.
commi=ee member Hyde Musical Society with a transi3on phase of their bar and profits towards their future produc3ons, it was great to see they were able to produce an amazing sell-out produc3on to audiences throughout Tameside with a waitlist even being created for any spare 3ckets.
Showstoppers theatre group have made use of the space upstairs in line with there murder mystery which again was a sell out performance and leV audiences wan3ng more play like produc3ons in this format which it appears they are doing again soon.
The theatre played a huge success in puRng on 2 of its own pantomimes with support from mul3ple groups and individuals across the board, Cinderella and Jack and his big stalk. The family one saw sell out audiences and an award winning youth cast, and excellence in dance from the regional Act Awards. The inven3ve Adult pantomime also achieved best original concept award from the Act awards. So a massive thank you to all involved and well done, this raised a substan3al amount of money for the theatre helping to keep our bank balance healthy and alive for the remainder of 2023.
During the course of the year the commi=ee also put on a Corona3on celebra3on that was hugely successful and a Eurovision Party as well helping raise further funds towards the theatres upkeep.
The youth council is now well established and in place at the theatre and when mee3ngs are taking place there is excellent engagement and par3cipa3on from individuals willing to support and make change to the theatre. There are upcoming plans for the youth council to start their own performances and funding raising which will be taking place very soon.
Members of the commi=ee also came together with a range of talent to create the play in a day which went down a treat and some amazing talent over the course of a 24 hours period raised a great amount of money whilst everyone there had a fantas3c 3me crea3ng an en3re produc3on in just 24 hours, a huge pat on the back needs to go out to everyone involved in the whole event and a massive thankyou to all.
Fundraising for the theatre has taken a dip this year compared to last, with groups not comple3ng as much as the year prior around fund raising for the building, I believe this is due to the financial struggles everyone is facing at the moment and hope that groups will start some form of fundraising ini3a3ve back up soon to help keep the theatre being able to do what it does best.
Our volunteer scheme is now working amazingly with more individuals wishing to join the programme and support the theatre, we are opening up other avenues for volunteers to support with in order for individuals to explore other areas of opportunity and development.
Since last years refurbishment of the front of the building more a=en3on has been no3ced of the venue over the last 12 months from passing trade and social media, this has had a great impact on us with further enquiries around hire and overall use of the venue.
Further improvements around safety and appearance of the venue have taken place with huge support from our caretaker Kelly, along with support from HMS, RBDA, ShowStoppers Sparks and TYDG. This wasn’t as big a job as last year however there is s3ll areas of the theatre needing improvement which we have now considered a tri-annually period throughout the year.
I would like to say a massive thankyou to the commi=ee for their support over the last year and also the limited company for their ongoing support in trus3ng us with the building and ideas to help modernise whilst keeping the tradi3onal aspect of Hyde Fes3val Theatre.
this, the theatre would not operate to the standard it does, from safeguarding and health and safety, Jayne, to administra3on of everything amongst a million other things, Steve, then to the accounts and ongoing issues and ques3ons we have with trying to get hold of Barclays and so on, Clare, and finally to my vice chair who plays a key role in my support on a day to day basis, Mar3n.
I thoroughly love the work I do here and although at 3mes may express my upset and annoyance love everything this building represents and does for our community and youth throughout the borough of Tameside and further afield. I look forward to being considered for another year in office and thank you all again for all your support.
