Theatr
Fach, Glyndwr Street, Dolgellau, LL40 1BD
Dolgellau
is a small picturesque market town in beautiful surroundings in
North Wales. .
Dolgellau Amateur Dramatic
Society was brought in to existence in 1978. Like many societies
of our kind we have had our share of ups and downs and we are very dependent
on the enthusiasm of our active members to perform productions year
on year.
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.
The seating
capacity
of the auditorium is around 72
Throughout the year, the company present
at least one play, monthly poetry
and prose readings and hosts professional theatre companies and live music.
The big production of the year
is usually the annual
pantomime. Of course, we are entirely in the hands of our active members
and at present, we sometimes lack people brave enough to walk on
stage but we carry on.
The
poetry and prose evenings, which are staged once a month from January
to Decmber in the Club Room, are usually well
attended by a dedicated audience and sometimes feature the poetry
and prose of society members.
Any
member can offer to organize a poetry
and prose evening and there are no set
themes. They usually take place on the
third Friday of the month and if you're
not sure how to go about it just ask
a committee member for help.
The
building is available for hire for theatrical uses and private functions.
Cwmni
Theatr Fach Company (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 have a constitution and a properly
elected committee who take care of the day to day running of the
Society and we work very hard to achieve our main aim of bringing live
entertainment to the community and deserve support.
