BOLTON Little Theatre consistently produces high quality work and attracts large audiences.

It is among the town's top amateur theatres and has been honoured at the BEN's Amateur Stage Awards evenings.

We think the theatre fully merits its £100,000 National Lottery grant to improve its 200-year-old venue and to make structural alternations to allow more disabled people to take part in productions.

Amateur theatre is very much part of Bolton's life and we welcome anything which enhances it. We hope other amateur theatrical groups are equally successful in Lottery bids.
