THE GANTRY YOUTH THEATRE

We offer performance opportunities for ages 5 to 18, which include not only acting, but also participation in a socially creative experience, which fosters teamwork,confidence building and self-expression. Our weekly classes offer a mix of drama/musical theatre skills.There are two major productions annually, a Summer show and a Pantomime. Both members and non-members are invited to audition.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • The latest accounts were qualified
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
