THREE organisations in Scarborough are celebrating after securing Arts Council funding for the next three years beginning 2012/13.

The funding, which was announced yesterday, has been made available for the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Crescent Arts and the National Student Drama Festival.

Crescent Arts will receive £70,000 each year, which is 58 per cent up on last time.

Director Stuart Cameron said: “It’s really the difference between us being able to survive in the long term or not.

“It’s a huge vote of confidence in what we’re doing here.”

He added that he believes Scarborough as a whole had done very well for arts funding, saying: “It absolutely demonstrates a recognition of what is happening with the arts in Scarborough and the fact that they want to keep that going.”

The money will go towards supporting and promoting contemporary visual arts in Scarborough and beyond.

The Kings Speech

MUSIC, light, lanterns and gigantic creatures from the darkest of prehistoric ages got the weekend’s Coastival arts event off to an eye-catching start.

And with top acts such as The Levellers and comedians Jon Richardson and Shappi Khorsandi, organisers were hoping to build on the success of the original event two years ago.

Festival organiser Wendy Clews said that she was impressed with the opening parade which was a “breathtaking” sight.

She said: “So many children and their families were there and The Levellers was a brilliant gig to kick things off.

“It’s the first gig they’ve done this year and they were quite nervous about it doing those songs for the first time. They were excited and a bit nervous.

“They had a great time and they said that they definitely want to come back to Scarborough on their next tour.”

Wendy added that the festival was a “bit different” and organisers had tried to develop it from lessons learned during the first one in 2009.

TWO Scarborough-based heroes of the theatre feature in this year’s The Stage 100 list.

Playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn tops the writers and composers category and Qdos boss Nick Thomas is 11th in the annual chart of the industry’s movers and shakers.

Sir Alan, a regular in the 100 list, is described as the country’s most prolific playwright.

He was, until early 2009, the artistic director of the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, and still premieres his plays there.

Last year The Life Of Riley, his 74th play, opened in Scarborough and is now on tour. His 75th play – as yet untitled – will open at the venue later this year.
