In the charity's own words
THE CHARITY CONTINUES TO ENCOURAGE NEW, UP AND COMING WRITERS TO WORK IN THE THEATRE; WE GIVE THE THEATRE TO SOME REGISTERED ORGANISATIONS TO ENABLE THEM TO SHOWCASE THEIR VALUABLE WORK. THE SHOWCASES ARE ESPECIALLY REWARDING FOR US AS OVER THE YEARS SEVERAL ACTORS HAVE GONE ON TO PERFORM IN THE WEST END.
