Oxfordshire Theatre Company

Description

Aims

 

Oxfordshire Theatre Company was set up in 1979 to serve the wide range of urban and rural communities in Oxfordshire with a quality programme of touring theatre which strives “to enrich the culture of those communities and empower groups and individuals within them in their own creativity, particularly those with limited access to mainstream theatre”.

 

Recent tours have included Alice in Wonderland for family audiences, Dancing in my Dreams for young people and adults and Vertigo for adults.

 

Councillor Commitment

 

Councillors are appointed to act as observers to the Company’s Board of Directors which meets four times a year.  Meetings are held at SS Mary and John School, at the above address, at 6.30pm.

 

Council Representatives :    One representative appointed annually

 

Expectations of Councillor Representatives:

 

  1. Being kept informed of any City council meetings that it might be appropriate for this body to attend and giving advice about Council departments, other than arts and leisure, that the body could work with on projects;
  2. This organisation wants someone with enthusiasm fort the wider role of the arts within the community.
