Lottery boost for Lancaster theatre group
The group applied for the grant in December towards the cost of taking cast members to see a professional show – and as the grant application form asked if the cost of food and drink was to be included, they also included a cheeky ask for a contribution towards an interval ice-cream!
And they were absolutely delighted to find the application was successful!

It is hoped that those that can afford a full price ticket will pay for themselves.
Stagestruck Theatre Group is an all-inclusive amateur theatre group and performs a yearly self-penned musical at the Grand Theatre in Lancaster.
The group has recently been finishing off rehearsals for its performance of Peter Pan, which is showing at the Grand from February 6 to 8.
