Regal Trust Report March 2013


March was as busy as predicted. More than 3,000 people, attended shows and films.

April promises to be busy month for technical improvements. The intruder alarm has been installed and the update to the three phase system has been started. We are also planning to start the process of installing a permanent sound system for use on some live shows.

We are pleased to announce that we will be receiving a live broadcast from the British Museum, a world first, and will have a special showing of War of the Worlds, recorded at the O2 arena, which we will show as part of the Regal Anniversary Black Tie Event (more details to follow)

We are in the final process of putting together the next season, which will include live performances from, The Counterfeit Sixties and Desperado (Eagles Tribute), a variety show from the Lights Down Theatre School, and a performance of Treasure Island from the Blue Orange Theatre Company.

During the school summer holidays there will be a special season of family films.

The day-time cafe is currently closed due to unprofitable trading, but the Trustees are considering a number of alternate options.

You are all encouraged to come along to the Regal this Thursday to see a performance of Finding Joy by Vamos, the incredible full mask theatre company. This will be a show that will bring tears and laughter in equal measure.

On Saturday 20th, the Regal steps back in time to the early forties, for the Mayors Charity Show, where a band of talented entertainers recreate a wartime Garrison Theatre. This special show promises to evoke the spirit of Wartime Britain, with the music and laughter that kept Britain smiling through her darkest days.
