This year has been another exciting chapter for Rubber Chicken Theatre CIC, as we continue to share the performing arts with our community and create opportunities for people of all ages to take part, grow in confidence, and shine on stage. At the very heart of what we do are our productions. These shows bring our community together in an ex-citing and positive way, giving young people the chance to perform in both professional theatres and our own community venue. In 2024, our October holiday production of Six Teen Edition achieved record levels of teenage engagement, and in May, we were overjoyed to bring home the Outstanding Production Award from the Junior Theatre Festival Europe. These moments remind us why the stage is such a powerful place for young people to belong. Alongside productions, our weekly programme of classes has grown to over 200 children and young people each week, from pre-school through to S6. Our community choir also continued to thrive, with singers aged 16 to 80+ meeting each week to share music, laughter, and friendship. We also ran a strong programme of holiday activities and workshops, offered creative opportunities for pre-school children to play, explore, and perform, and provided one to one support and audition preparation for teenagers preparing for further study in the arts. Education remained an important strand of our work, and we were thrilled to see a 100% pass rate across all three of our National Progression Award courses in Musical Theatre, Technical Theatre, and Professional Theatre Preparation. To meet growing demand, we also launched an additional lower-primary musical theatre class and introduced an advanced performers class for older high school students, giving them space to develop skills in smaller, more focused groups. Our community focus reaches far beyond our own rehearsals and shows. We continue to support local schools with directing, choreography, and technical input, while our free-to-hire costume library makes costumes, props, and equipment accessible to schools and community groups. A highlight of the year was sponsoring and performing at Stirling’s first-ever Pride event a joyful celebration of inclusivity that we were proud to be part of. And following the success of our inclusive production in 2023, we continue to make sure children with additional support needs have the chance to experience the stage in a fully sup-ported way. We also remained closely connected to our town, supporting local events such as High Street open evenings and Christmas concerts, giving our young people further chances to perform and be part of com-munity celebrations. Through all of this, our mission has remained the same: to put community at the heart of everything we do, and to use the performing arts as a way to bring people together, celebrate individuality, and create spaces where confidence and creativity can flourish.
The company’s stakeholders are the children, young people, and wider community in and around Dunblane and Stirling. We make it a priority to listen to our community, whether that’s through feedback on social media, open conversations with current members, or the informal chats that happen at our events. This ongoing dialogue helps us keep our work relevant, inclusive, and responsive to what people really want and need. In 2024 we continued to shape our programme around the interests of our young people. This saw an in-crease in both family-friendly Disney productions and the teen edition of the hugely popular concert musical Six. Not only did this reflect what our performers were most excited about, it also fuelled our growth with waiting lists now a regular feature for both our productions and our weekly classes. Our commitment remains to put the voices of our community at the centre of everything we do, making sure Rubber Chicken Theatre CIC continues to grow in ways that reflect the needs and aspirations of those we serve.
