Performance Plaza Ltd - Making a difference with the Power of Performance.

Imagine a Drama group in your Community that every person can afford to be a member of. Imagine special shows produced for Schools and Youth Groups with Educational content. Content developed with the input of the Parents. Imagine a place where new Playwrights can have actors read through their work in a performance set up. Imagine local communities producing and performing their own 'Pantomimes', under a scheme called, 'The One Pound Panto', enabling every child to see one at least once. Imagine being able to learn basic Guitar skills without having to buy a Guitar, so that you can just walk away if it isn't for you. Imagine, if it is for you, being able to purchase a Guitar at cost price and being able to pay weekly without any credit agreement having to be signed.

Performance Plaza is a non-profit organisation founded in 2005 by Paul J. Burgess and Jason D. Bromley and using funds kindly donated by Dorothy Bogdan. Since 2005 we have run a Youth Performance Workshop every Wednesday evening, this is for ages 8 to 16 and incorporates all aspects of performance, mainly drama, but also touching on dance and singing. We also run an adult workshop, for ages 16 and up, this runs on a Monday night. All evening workshops run from 7pm to 9pm.

We also run two Guitar groups every Tuesday evening which are open to all ages. We provide the guitar and if it turns out to be the instrument for you, you can purchase it at cost price by paying weekly or monthy. We do hope to be able to offer some instruments free of charge, but this is not always possible.

For the future we have many plans. Soon we will be starting a Song Writing workshop open to all ages. As we grow we also plan to begin a classic 'open mic' night at an Oldham venue, this will be an open platform to all performers. We also plan to start a 'Creative Writing Workshop', and may release a local free publication paid for by adverts, after completetion of the first one.These and other plans have always been part of our aims and objectives.

All groups are based in Oldham and details can be requested via email or telephone, the number can be found on the About Us page. Our workshops offer a chance to learn new skills, meet new friends and are open to all.

See the 'APPEALS' page for our current campaign/needs. Lists of people interested in the Adult Performance workshops and/or Song Writing workshops mentioned above are currently being compiled, should you wish to add your name to either list, call one of the numbers at the top of the about us page, or email.
