Introduction

2008 saw the completion of a major building project at the theatre, with the complete rebuilding of the upstairs dressing rooms and storage space. This redevelopment allowed us to apply for and gain a public entertainment licence.  It is now time to improve the rest of the theatre building in order to make it a more attractive and comfortable space for both members and audience.  We are calling this improvement programme - IncogACTion2010 Access for all.

• To create a new foyer which will be attractive and more comfortable to encourage more regular use of the theatre by audience and members alike.
  
• To provide additional space and facilities.
• To improve disabled facilities.
• To make proper provision for youth work.
• To provide extra rehearsal space
• To create a bar area that can be used during the interval and at the end a performance.
• To maximise use of the theatre.

 When is the redevelopment going to start?

• The planning application was put forward to Barnet Council at the end of August 2008 and planning permission was finally granted in December 2008.
• We expect to start work on the redevelopment at the latest by the Summer of 2010.
• Once work has started, it will take approximately six weeks to remove the existing buildings and put up the new exterior. Internal works will then take place.

• The cost of the redevelopment will be about £120,000
• We need to raise a further £65,000
• The additional money will come from:
• Donations from members and friends.
• Grant applications.
• Incognito fund raising events.
