Question 1

What’s the background of Limelight Performers?

Accepted Answer

We were formed in 2019 to fill the gap that we'd observed in the local area for a new group to produce high quality shows throughout the year, and give more opportunities to everyone in the community to take part and perform in a range of our amazing nearby venues. We've been producing shows since then, and always have big projects planned!
 
In November 2020 we became a Registered Charity in England and Wales (Number 1192522)

Question 2

Who runs Limelight Performers?

Accepted Answer

The charity is run by a team of trustees, chaired by James Aleksic - you can find out about the team here. Each production has it's own unique team who run the rehearsals and are the first point of contact if you're involved in a show.

Question 3

Why's it called "Limelight Performers"?"

Accepted Answer

The name came about in an early discussion, remembering a competition that James (our owner) had won as a child to name a local theatre's front of house bar (with "Limelights" as the winning name) - and we felt it was the perfect way for us to quickly show our number one passion, giving everyone their chance to be "in the limelight" and get to experience the wonderful world of theatre (whether on stage, backstage or in the audience)!
