FOREST Forge Theatre in Ringwood has received £55,000 from the government’s Culture Recovery Fund. It is a centre for self-producing professional live theatre in the region providing services to venues, schools and the community for 40 years. The pandemic has resulted in the theatre being unable to generate income from productions, participation groups, workshops and venue hires for more than a year. Forest Forge Theatre CEO and creative producer, Sharon Lawless, said: “We are all over the moon to have received this vital funding thanks to Arts Council England. We have worked tirelessly during the lockdown to keep Forest Forge active, supporting our local community through very successful online theatre courses and workshops which will, of course, continue.
As it enters its 40th year of delivering theatre to communities, Ringwood based Forest Forge Theatre Company is determined to continue offering creative classes and workshops with a jam-packed online programme for half-term. From February 15 to 19, the theatre has a daily programme of online events which boasts a daily offering of creative learning and activities for people of all ages including:
Babigloo Music for Babies (February 19)
Minis Drama Club for ages four to seven (February 15)
Young Writers Workshops for ages seven to 11 (February 18) and ages 12 to 18 (February 17)
