About us...








OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
Well . . . we don’t take ourselves quite that seriously, but here’s what we are and why we are here . . . 
We are a local community drama group trying to make live theatre accessible to all, especially small communities.

It is a unique group, creating and devising their own shows through ‘improvisation’ (nothing is scripted).
Performances are related to local history, news or incidents in local life. 
Membership is open to anyone aged 16 and over who is interested in our activities. The group endeavours to aid the teaching of all skills necessary to organise, plan and put on a show of this nature. 

Skills such as:
Acting; Stage Management; Front of House Organisation; Organisation of Props; Lighting; Sound; Promotional Work; Procurement of Funding; Secretarial. 
We aim to offer help to anyone lacking in self confidence, for whatever reason, to meet with like minded people and develop their levels of self confidence through performance of a piece of theatre.

FUNDING:
The group is funded by an annual round of grant applications to a variety of 
grant bodies in Yorkshire, Humberside and nationally. Ticket prices are intentionally kept to a minimum to encourage local people to attend who might not otherwise be able to afford City centre prices or who might not be interested in professional theatre performances. For this reason, tickets represent a small proportion of our income.

PERFORMANCES:
Planning begins each year in the spring, and a production is prepared for 
performance in the Autumn. All members of the group are
involved at all stages from ideas through to performance.
