We are now entering the second year of our fund raising and are delighted to be able to report that we have passed the half way point, having raised just more than one million pounds in gifts and pledges. We still have some way to go but are hoping to start the actual building work in the summer of 2008.
Our last campaign event was an evening with Old Mancunian and TV historian Michael Wood at MGS in November.
Michael is currently on our screens with The Story of India, following past successes which include In Search of Shakespeare, Conquistadors, Saddam's Killing Fields and In the Steps of Alexander the Great. He entertained us with extracts from his film work and stories from behind the scenes.
A spectacular production of Singin' in the Rain was the last big drama event to be held in the old Theatre at the beginning of December. Please enter here to read more about this event.
