Theatr Fach (Dolgellau Amateur Dramatic
Society) was brought in to existence over twenty five years ago, with the aim
of bringing live theatre to Dolgellau and the surrounding area. Over the
years, the Society has grown and changed but has held true to the
principal of serving the community whilst giving pleasure to the membership
through the performing arts
The acquisition of the building in Glyndwr
Street was an achievement of which we are justifiably proud. A grant from
the National Lottery and a loan from the Foundation for Sport and
the Arts, enabled the Society to add an extension to the existing
building thus giving us more back stage facilities and a club room which is
available for committee meetings and less formal gatherings, as well as being
the place where patrons can enjoy refreshments during intervals in
performances. Throughout the year, the company presents plays, poetry
and prose readings and hosts professional theatre companies and live music.
Not forgetting the big production of the year, the annual
pantomime.
Plans
for the future include more of our own productions.
To this end it was agreed that the post of artistic
director should be created, someone who could take overall
charge of what happens in the theatre as far as productions
are concerned. We are also trying to organize a one
act play competition and we have extended the Poetry
and Prose evenings to an all year format, something which
has greatly increased our audience numbers.
We
are aiming for at least one play performed by members
of the society, the Summer Show and the Pantomime and
twelve poetry and prose evenings usually held on the
third Friday of the month. Depending on the interest
shown, Summer Workshops which would cover acting, directing,
lighting and sound and writing might be on offer in
2007. Theatr Fach (Dolgellau Amateur Dramatic Society) is a
registered charity and exists financially, largely on membership fees and
donations and on the generous grants from various Council and charitable
bodies . We work very hard to achieve our main aim of bringing live
entertainment to the community and deserve support.
