Story
Based in Colchester, Essex, we have been providing young people with performance opportunity for over 21 years. As a not-for-profit organisation, the pandemic has hit us hard, and we are struggling to keep afloat . We desperately want to provide more exciting performance opportunities for local young people as soon as it is safe to do so. After the crazy year our young people have had performances are now more important than ever. The sense of achievement the young people gain and the huge sense of pride their families feel is priceless - unfortunately costumes, props, scenery and venues do all have a price and we desperately need to raise some funds to enable us to start planning a show.
If you are in a position to make a donation, no matter how small, we would be very thankful. Unlike big theatres companies, many of whom have had support from the government or the Arts Council, we haven't had any financial assistance and are now coming with cap in hand to all theatre goers, parents, friends, past students and kind hearted people everywhere to please help get young people smiling and laughing and doing what they love doing - performing to an audience. Thank you x
