Public benefits

Lurig Drama provides regular opportunity for the community to experience drama performances in a variety of genre with the stimulation associated with such events. Benefit flows from the provision of guided experience in a variety of theatrical areas of expertise and the increase in participant’s skills by providing training and direction. Our

aims allow for participation as performers, assisting in a technical capacity and supporting roles. This in turn means increased skills opportunities have been made available to the community and the various groups within the area. The provision of accessible facilities, events and activities contained within have a positive impact on the mental health and well being of those in need and enable social interaction. The direct benefits can be identified through participation in events, box office receipts and public opinion: also volunteering of time, skills and resources, feedback received and regular internal evaluation. The community sector is improved in both personal and community capacity, community spirit and community cohesion and integration. There is no harm arising from any of the purposes The beneficiaries are the general public in the Glens area and any other areas where we perform. There is no private benefit from any of the purposes.

What your organisation does

The origins of Lurig Drama Group dates back to 1904. Our aim is to promote access to the arts to everyone. We regularly stage performances of plays, pantomimes and rehearsed readings. We periodically run workshops with professional arts organisations to further the skills of those who wish to participate. We work extensively with many local

groups, offering technical, artistic and performance skills, and are active partners in a number of local arts festivals. The group runs and maintains our local theatre space. We regularly help stage performances and fundraising events here for local groups. The theatre space is also host to many professional theatre companies, and Lurig Drama provides the technical assistance to them.
