Theatr Gwaun in Peril of Closing

Theatr Gwaun is not doing well this days that it might be closing by the end of the year. Well, that is if most of the volunteers who have now come to its rescue can stop it.

This theater which is being subsidized by the Pembrokeshire council suffers from low attendance rates that it is not viable anymore to run it thus the idea of closing it. Volunteers are now campaigning to keep it open by creating a viable business plan with hopes that the theater ownership will be transferred to them.

Theatr Gwaun has a rich history which initially served as a Temperance hall and then as a cinema in the 1920‘s known as The Studio. Massive reconstruction was done in the 1990‘s and its name was now changed to what it is known today.

This theater can actually sit 180 people and has an adequate center stage. People are claiming that the theater is not being managed effectively since little or no promotion is being done on the performances that are scheduled on the theater. How can we watch the performances when we don’t know if there are any at all? this is just one of the questions people are asking

Right now the volunteers are proposing that theater management be split into two, one to take care of promotions and one to handle the programming and management of the building. They believe that with proper management the theater would be viable to operate.

The theater is now getting huge support from different sectors such as the public, local business sectors and even politicians. With lot of people now coming out to support Theatr Gwaun it is unlikely that it would close at the end of the year.
