I've raised £1000 to help us bring high quality shows to our community

Beeston Musical Theatre Group is a NODA award winning musical theatre society founded in 1967. Based in Beeston, Nottingham in the East Midlands, BMTG was all set to bring Jesus Christ Superstar and Return to the Forbidden Planet to the community in 2020. Then the Covid-19 pandemic hit and everything halted. Throughout Lockdown we have kept our spirits high through digital events including quizzes, scavenger hunts, photo competitions, zoom chats, learning new skills, workout and dance sessions.....you name it!
Now as we head towards the reopening of theatres and community venues, we want to be prepared. We have been lucky to be able to cover our running costs through the pandemic, but now we need an injection of funding so that we can bring our next show back with a bang!
Your donation will go towards the licence, rehearsal and performance venue fees, costuming, props, our technical support staff, orchestra musicians, mics, set and marketing materials for the show. Our target is £1,000 which is only part of what it costs to put on a production. Patron donations and member fees are going towards the rest.
By supporting us, you are also supporting the local community. In the lead up to the show we attend borough fetes, fun days and council events. All of our shows are performed at The Duchess Theatre at Chatsworth Arts Centre which is an important community venue and safe space for all ages. The changes that are happening in theatre and the arts over the next 2 years will define arts and culture in the UK. Your support is so important because it will ensure our future as part of this country's cultural landscape.
