“Although the building is not yet suitable for performances, we are grateful to the Beverley Arms Hotel and Creation Fine Arts gallery for providing us with venues. We thank professional, local and London-based performers, for the diverse programme consisting of two excellent plays and a wide variety of exciting music. Due to such generosity, all proceeds will go towards the new theatre.”
