Nomad Theatre annual report for 2000
Starting our second year in our new theatre we wondered if the novelty might wear
off, but this has not been the case as the statistics above indicate. Again we have
had a varied programme using both our main theatre and our studio space. Several
shows have been 100% sold or close to it.
To celebrate our second successful year we took our production of The Crucible to
the Bedlam Theatre at the Edinburgh Fringe for a week and sold every seat in the
98 seat venue. It was our first visit to the Festival.
Our children's workshops have been extended, with a new one on Friday evenings to
add to the three on Saturday mornings. There has been an increased interest in our
Young Nomads. Indeed, this was exemplified by the number of young men in their summer
musical.
Our Play in a Week project, with half the cast wheelchair users, is being repeated
with larger numbers this year. We received another Access Award, this time from
the Mayor of Guildford.
We organised our first ever film evening and with the support it received we are
now planning to hold them as a regular feature.
We have run two training days, one on Mask Theatre run by the Trestle Theatre and
another on Radio Play writing.
Our one major worry is recruiting enough members to keep such a varied programme
going. The only professional we have is the tutor for our children and youth programme.
