Dear Melton Community Member,
Our local theatre has been a focal point of discussion, and the time has come to stop talking and start building a sustainable future for arts and performance in Melton. We believe the best way forward is to establish a Community Interest Company (CIC)—a non-profit, purpose-driven organisation—to explore, fund, and manage a long-term theatre presence in the area.
This proposal is about much more than just the current building; it is about securing a vibrant theatrical and cultural platform for generations to come. The CIC will investigate all options, ranging from saving the existing theatre to developing proposals for a brand-new facility that meets modern community needs.
We Need You: Join Our Founding Group
We are holding an essential public meeting to present the initial CIC proposal and recruit passionate individuals to join the founding group.
We are looking for people with skills, passion, and vision—whether you're an artist, a business professional, an architect, or simply a dedicated audience member—we need your commitment to make this project a reality.
Date: Monday, October 27th
Time: 8:00 PM
Location: The Melton Theatre
Important Note on the Meeting's Purpose
Please be aware that this meeting is strictly focused on the details the CIC could offer you and the community as possible share holders .This is NOT a general Q&A session about the immediate fate of the existing theatre.
Come On Board - Potential Shareholder Status
If you are passionate about the future of theatre and the enormous cultural and economic opportunities this platform brings to Melton, we urge you to attend.
The CIC model offers the potential for community investment, and we will discuss how you can officially get on board, including details regarding possible shareholder status within the new company structure. Your involvement could be vital to ensuring its success.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the cultural landscape of Melton from the ground up. We look forward to seeing you there to begin this exciting journey together.
Sincerely,
The Proposed Melton Theatre CIC Steering Group
