Side
by Side has built up an enviable reputation within the
Warwickshire and West Midlands community. Our shows attract
support from many Mayors, Sheriffs, councillors and MPs from
many areas, including: Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth, Nuneaton,
Bedworth, Stratford-upon-Avon, Rugby, Alcester and Southam.
In
1999 the group’s achievements were formally recognized when
Sue Teers, the founding
member and Artistic Director, was honored with an MBE, an award
she wanted to share with the whole company.
Support
from and with other organisations:
In 2010 Side By Side received
a grant towards purchasing much needed sound equipment to help
develop and demonstrate the skills of our members.
From
the very beginning the Talisman
Theatre in Kenilworth has been our main supporter.
Its members have been key partners in ensuring the success of
the company, providing support with music, dance and general
fund-raising activities.
Since we moved our shows to the Royal Spa Centre we have also
received invaluable support from Warwick
Lions. They have provided financial and front
of house support for our shows.
