Northenden Players Theatre Club
Community Development
We want to create a new community space in the heart of Northenden to perform plays, and to provide a space for the community to use.
About this cause
The Northenden Players Theatre Club has been performing in the very heart of Northenden village for the last 75 years. Producing six plays a year, every year, this Amateur Dramatic Society has performed over 400 plays during its long history and is very well supported by the local community with over 286 members and 120 patrons. This award-winning society has a very loyal audience in South Manchester and continues to introduce increasingly people to a wide genre of plays.
How this cause brings people in the community together
This new venue would be a permanent home for NPTC and will provide a 100-seat theatre for hire by arrangement to many local groups, musical societies including local schools and colleges. We could use the building to expand our arts offer to include the reinstatement of a youth drama club, film presentations, afternoon teas and an ideal space for local companies to use a shared space.
