Green Curtain Theatre’s objective as a CIC is to engage with members of the Irish diaspora (1st, 2nd and 3rd generation) and the public at large in London and the wider UK in order to educate and include them in the creation, promotion and performance (by plays, videos etc) of stories about the Irish experience as migrants over the years into the UK. Our activities are project based. To this aim in the financial year being reported we were engaged in the following projects: a) Between March and June 2025: Ran a call-out for submissions from the Irish diaspora in Britain to generate stories about their desire to apply or own an Irish passport in addition, usually to owning a British one. b) Wrote and developed a show "The Irish Countess: Echoes of a Soul" commemorating Constance Markievicz, a famous Irish revolutionary. c) Participated in the Wandsworth Arts Fringe Festival 2025 (June) by performing two shows, "Call Yourself An Irishman?" and "The Irish Countess: Echoes of a Soul". d) Participated in the Guildford Fringe Festival 2025 (September) by performing "Call Yourself An Irishman?" e) Performed "Stamps and Stories - The journeys we carry in our Irish Passports" at the Camden Irish Centre (October) and the Liverpool Irish Centre (October). f) Performed "The Irish Countess: Echoes of a Soul" at the Hope Street Theatre in Liverpool (October). g) Performed "Call Yourself An Irishman?" at St Johns Parish Centre in Manchester (October). h) Conducted a playwriting workshop at the Camden Irish Centre (January). Funding for much of the expense of producing the “Stamps and Stories” project came in the form of a grant from the Irish Embassy in London’s Emigrant Support Programme.

We have had, in the financial year being reported, two types of stakeholder: financial and cultural. a) Financial The activities of the theatre company are funded by: - Grants - Donations from the public - Ticket Sales for our productions which happen in a physical venue - Injection of capital by the directors where there is a shortfall of funds This year we benefitted from a grant from the Irish Embassy in London’s Emigrant Support Programme. In return we were required to provide the Embassy with a detailed report on the outcome of the two projects which were part funded by them. KPIs included a breakdown of the demographic of the people who participated (e.g. writers, actors, producers etc) or attended the productions (numbers, breakdown by 1st, 2nd, 3rd Irish; non Irish attendees etc). Where we make an operating profit in a financial year, we donate the proceeds to our nominated charity, “Aisling – Return to Ireland”. We have made a small operating profit this year and so will be donating to the charity. b) Cultural In this category our stakeholders are the various people who benefit from working with us or attending an event put on by us. It is easy to interact with writers and actors as we are in discussions with them over the course of a project, either in person, over zoom calls, at rehearsals or by email. Modifications are sometimes made based on their feedback. Interaction with our audiences is more nuanced as we gauge our success and failure in their eyes by the volumes of people who come to our events or sign up for our mailing list. Where our productions are made available as videos posted to our Youtube channel, we monitor views, which is not an exact science (i.e. how many people are watching a view?).Feedback tends to be informal with people telling us what they like (and very rarely dislike) about our productions. There is definite a “market” for what we produce as tickets for our performances sell well.
