Shrek The Musical - Cancellation
It is with great sadness that we must announce that our production of Shrek The Musical will not be going ahead.
We have considered many alternatives to try and proceed with Shrek, including looking at other venues and postponing the show, however these are currently not a feasible option for both logistics and licensing reasons.
With less than 10 weeks left and the tender ward not announced, the committee has had to take the regrettable decision to stop rehearsals and cancel Shrek.
All energy is being transferred into making "Dick Whittington" a hit for the audience and the Box Office so please help as much as you can.
Following our production of Oliver! at the Guild Hall we were waiting the settlement of the box office split, somewhere around £18,000. We then heard the news that Simon Rigby had taken Preston Guild Hall Ltd into insolvency leaving us without the money we were entitled to. We have not been quiet on this front registering our claim with the insolvency practitioner and pursuing other financial streams. We are confident of resolving the financials and these actions are ongoing.
