ACTivities and Events Guide

Dan Philips and Bay Diamond as John and Ellen

The Wigan Girls!

A fantastic community play that involved hundreds of actors of all ages and many people behind the scenes. A great success!

 

Louis Barber

 

 

 

 

Lovers Bay Dimond as Ellen and Dan Philips (John) share a happy moment before tragedy strikes.


Programme of Events

From September 2007 we began a monthly programme of arts events. Our purpose is to bring ACT more to the knowledge of the wider community, and to raise simple amounts towards our fund-raising. Look out for information on this website as well as elsewhere especially Thornbury Magazine and The Gazette.

Louis Barber as a typical pit brat, reflects on his life in the mines.
