Dave Spikey – A Funny Thing HappenedFriday 27th August - 7:30 pmTickets £17.50

Funny things happen all the time. Normal events don’t catch the eye but Dave’s special radar instinctively draws him to the small out-of-the-ordinary events and conversations that wash over most of us and pass us by. Once identified, he applies his unique style of exaggerating and elaborating them whilst reminding us that we too have not only witnessed them, it’s probably happened to us! It’s this added dimension, this comedy of association that elevates the event to laugh-out-loud funny.

No wonder Time Out magazine said of him, “Not only a very funny comedian but one of the finest raconteurs around.”

The theatre is funded solely by the income from the shows and all monies raised by the programme go directly into the operation, restoration, and repair of the theatre.   

Upstairs in the New Foyer will be an intimate studio space for smaller productions, a place that will be accessible to all community groups, schools and will allow us to host conferences, seminars and to provide workshops.

Looking to the future, income streams made possible by the New Foyer will provide additional finance to ensure the long-term viability of this gem of a theatre for generations to come..

We plan to raise the funds by 2022 and you will begin to see changes to the building during 2021 in preparation.

The plans are drawn up, approved, and costed at £2.3 million. We have raised £500k ourselves through donations, events and legacies. Heritage England have allocated £400K and Lancaster City Council have allocated £250K to The New Foyer as part of the High Street Heritage Action Zone Project.

This is great news as it means we are already halfway there. We are now launching our New Foyer Appeal to raise the remaining £1.15 million needed.

The New Foyer will see improved physical access, a bigger Box Office, a larger bar and a welcoming reception area.

Theatre TourYou are invited to take a guided tour of the third oldest continually operating theatre in England. Originally built in 1782 during the reign of George III and rebuilt in 1908 to its current Edwardian style, you will hear about its long and lively history and how it has developed into what you see today. A backstage and front of house tour is yours for the taking during which you will see the ornate auditorium and the wonders of the hidden, functional world behind the curtain. Stand on the stage and see what it looks like to be a performer! Hear about the people who ran the Grand over the years, what they did to it and who has appeared here. If you are lucky, you may even see the ghost!

239 years ofhistory in theGem of theNorthwestfor the taking!

Lancaster Footlights was formed on 10th May 1950. Their first performance was in the Ashton Hall in November 1921 but they decided to hire the Grand theatre the following year and continued using it up to 1935 when it became a cinema. From then on they used Priory Hall, the Jubilee Hall and Ashton Hall for performances. In 1951, Footlights purchased the Grand from ABC cinemas. It was in a pretty bad state and Footlights have progressively restored it to its present amazing condition. Over the years, other local amateur societies began to use the theatre and in 1995 the first professional acts were included to help run and maintain the Grade II listed building. This gradually developed over the years and there is now half and half split of community and professional lets.

Safety CurtainAs a permanent reminder of Footlights’ centenary, we commissioned Lancaster based artist, Paul Mason, to produce a design for the safety curtain suitable for the third oldest provincial theatre in the UK. After considerable research, the images chosen take us back to the theatre opening 1782 when a visiting theatre group performed an excerpt from the Commedia dell’arte involving Pantaloon, Harlequin and Pierrot. Also depicted is Joe Grimaldi perhaps the most famous clown of all time who performed here in 1818. This magnificent work is now finished and ready to face the public when the curtain has been turned round during the January shut down.

Footlights is a thriving amateur drama group which takes a professional approach to its work. We first started performing in the 1920’s, and purchased the Grand Theatre in 1951, saving it from demolition. We currently produce four plays per year at the Grand Theatre, including a traditional Christmas pantomime which is specifically aimed at family enjoyment and a Family production in the summer.

You can join Footlights for £15 per year for adults and £10 for juniors and students. We have a large membership, but with a theatre to run, a full season of plays to cast, sets to build, backstage and front-of-house staff to find etc. We are always looking for new faces and fresh ideas and talents. Why not come and join us? You’d be very welcome.

Youth FootlightsMembership of Footlights is open to any young person above the age of 9. The annual fee is £10 for anyone under 18 years and/or in full time education.

Props HireWe have an extensive store of props and furniture (not scenery or sets) which we are happy to loan out. Visit www.lancastergrand.co.uk for more information.
