The Kay George Doorway

Restoring the doorway into the SLT props store from the 1st floor corridor to improve access. Funds will be raised in the name of the late Kay George, props mistress and stage manager extraordinaire.

SLT is a prolific community theatre with hire spaces housed in a grade 2 listed former fire station. We exist to bring people together through the performing arts and to create a community hub, inclusive to all. We seek to secure the continuity of our activities and the future of our unique home.

Story

SLT has already received some very kind donations in memory of Kay George, and the Executive Committee has identified a small project that they feel would appropriately honour Kay’s memory. Kay was a committed stage manager and along with Carole Ironside, was instrumental in keeping our Prop Stores well maintained.

Over the last few years it’s become increasingly difficult to access the main props store as the current door is situated inside the Fly Loft – a very busy room! We would like to reinstate the original position of the door so that we can access the store from the corridor, rather than having to interrupt rehearsals and activities in the Fly Loft. The current door was created in the 1960’s, so we would also be returning the building to its original layout.

Once we have better access, not only will members be able to access the store more easily, but we will be able to expand opportunities to hire out props and raise some additional revenue. We are hoping to raise a total of £5000 to:

Open up the original door into the corridor

Brick up 1960s door (from Fly Loft to store)

Move radiator from corridor into props store

Decorate as much as possible

Install a small plaque in Kay's memory
