Looking to the Future
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation and concern about the well-being of our membership and audiences, we unfortunately had to take the difficult decision to postpone our next production until 2022. This is, of course, a major disappointment to us, but at this time the over-riding priority for APTG is the health of everybody associated with the group. We can't wait to be back on the stage!

Many of you will know that our home for the past few decades, the Drake Hall, will soon be no more! Work is continuing apace on the brand new Chiltern's Lifestyle Centre. As major users of the existing Community Centre we've been involved in the planning of the new building, especially of course around the auditorium and supporting function rooms. It's great to see the structure of the new building taking shape now. Until the new performing space is available, the Drake Hall will still be available - good news, as it means we shouldn't be 'homeless' for any significant length of time! You can follow the latest news and check out the design of the new Chilterns Lifestyle Centre here.

Each year APTG nominates a charity to support. In 2021 we are proudly supporting Fertility Network UK.

They are the nation’s leading patient-focused fertility charity and are there on a practical and emotional level whatever your experience of fertility issues to offer support services, information and access to a community of people affected by fertility problems. They can help: if you are considering your future fertility; if you are trying to become parents; if you are facing the challenges of childlessness; if you are successful after fertility problems and if you need help to access NHS-funded fertility treatment.
