02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

The aims of the Society are to increase the knowledge of the public in performing arts and in particular, musical theatre. This is achieved by the presentation of public performances and other related activities which promote live theatre in the local community and so enable the society members to participate in various aspects of the performing arts. Over a six-month period, we undertake the rehearsal and production of a musical theatre show for a 5-night run in March of each year, allowing members to either perform on stage or to be involved in other roles associated with producing a stage show, such as: - Stage Management, Scenery, Lighting, Props, Costumes and Make-Up etc.
