Taking a leading role in our
community's cultural life
For nearly 25 years we have been at the heart of the performing arts
in Tring, funding the Grass Roots Court Theatre at Pendley to the
tune of half a million pounds. In the last year alone we have
invested £100,000 in new changing rooms and back stage facilities.
The theatre presents plays and concerts all year round, from full-scale
musicals to one-person shows and from panto to music covering all
tastes from jazz to rock. More than 60 volunteers are responsible for
50 annual shows and over the years the theatre has helped
generations of young people become professional performers.

``
In my dealings with Grass Roots, from
the van driver to the Chief Executive,
whether it is asking for a favour in
moving tables or providing funding,
there is an embedded paternal,
professional commitment to the local
community. The Court Theatre at Tring
would not exist without the financial
generosity and generosity of spirit of
Grass Roots. The community
recognises that culture in Tring would
be much the poorer without the
company's unfailing support.
