Audience Survey

Having celebrated our 40th Anniversary in 2009, the club is now well into its 5th decade. Throughout this time the Club has gone from strength to strength and we have much to thank those people who are largely responsible for getting us to where we are today. We reached a key stage in our existence when we acquired and developed Dibble Tree Theatre in the early 1990’s. In the 20 years since then we were lucky enough to be awarded a substantial lottery grant which allowed us to extend the theatre and upgrade sound and lighting equipment.

However nothing stands still and we need to produce a strategy for the theatre which will serve to see us through the next few decades. To this end a Steering Group has been formed to begin to consider the future of the Dibble Tree. This is likely to be a lengthy process, as some changes may take several years but these changes will carry the Club forward long past its 50th anniversary in 2019. Of course any plans for the future should be carefully considered and planned for. Audiences must of course be consulted for their views, and to this end we would be grateful if you could complete the following short questionnaire.

Behind the Scenes

A few years ago the theatre club put on one of a collection of entertaining plays called “Deckchairs”.

This involved making the audience believe they were on a warm, sunny, sandy beach in summer. No mean feat for late September!

Although “Deckchairs” had only two people on stage at any one time, a veritable army of people had collaborated over the previous months to create that warm, sunny, sandy beach in summer.

They covered many areas and included:- producer, stage manager, stage crew, set designer, lighting manager, sound engineer, props, wardrobe, make-up, publicity, ticket and box office staff, front of house manager, the list is endless.

Without these people there would have been no show. So, remember, belonging to a theatre club can encompass many different interests, from simply going to the Theatre, through to set design!

If you are looking for a new interest, why not get in touch. And if treading the boards or making costumes etc is your dream then perhaps we can help make it a reality. Let us make good use all those hidden talents.
