It is run on a voluntary basis by a retired drama teacher and receives no regular subsidies or financial support. It is entirely self-financing and members pay a weekly nominal subscription towards running costs and production expenses.
It is open to all of the appropriate age, irrespective of race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability. There are no auditions for entry. Its aims are as follows:
- to encourage participation in theatre amongst young people;
- to develop the creative skills of young people through the craft of theatre;
- to develop the linguistic and social skills of young people;
- to provide an opportunity for young people to work with professional tutors, artists and craftspeople;
- to encourage young people to work together as a community, and in doing so experience the practical workings of theatre, whilst respecting its skills and discipline;
- to support the aims and cultural activities of Masque Theatre.
