Directors' report period ended 30 June 2025

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 30 June 2025

Principal activities of the company

The directors of the company were very happy to have had 2 very successful productions during 2025. This year’s choice of Pantomime proved a popular one with our audiences, who enjoyed a family tradition pantomime. Once again this production netted a healthy surplus. The annual main show Hairspray was an extremely popular show, which we eventually played to capacity audiences. The scale of the production, with complicated staging, numerous costume changes and a full live orchestra, obviously had large expenditures, but the unexpected income allowed this production to cover its expenditures. The company has once again been successful in claiming Theatre Tax Relief for the past year.
