THE COMPANY

      The company was formed in 1930 as Farnworth Amateur and Dramatic Society "to educate the public and develop their appreciation and taste in plays, drama, comedies, operettas, and  other dramatic and operatic works". (extract from original constitution) and whilst we might not now put it in quite these terms, we have for over seventy years, tried to present the very best of theatre to our audience.

      With the exception of 1939-45 the company has produced a musical operetta annually, and from time to time a concert for other charitable organisations. In the early 80's we added a biannual musical revue and two years ago, our first play. Next year we will produce our first pantomime and who knows what areas of performing arts we will venture into in years to come.   Whatever we do is down to the members, a family of over 130 members held together by the desire to be part of the performing arts. They are supported by an active social committee and kept  in touch with a monthly  news letter and since we incorporated as a Company  Limited by Guarantee in 1999, by an elected board of directors.

     This year we changed our name to Farnworth Performing Arts Company  (Farnworth PAC)  because it reflects better the different kinds of theatrical activities we are involved in and to achieve our aspirations to develop and grow in the future.  We have  the organisational skills and knowledge to meet the public's appetite for live productions  both in  the theatre and in the community. To do this we need your help and support in our future ventures, on stage, back stage, front of house, advertising or sponsoring and most importantly as an audience to perform to.


      We welcome and encourage new members to join the Company in whatever aspect of theatrical activity. Everyone has a talent to offer so if your place is not on the stage there is still a slot somewhere.
