We live in times of deep disconnection. Theatre & film is storytelling, and telling stories is connection. It's absolutely essential that we do whatever we can to draw people together, to think, feel and generate real, random, beautiful and hard-hitting stories.

LAFTA is a fabulous group of people, so friendly and welcoming. I'm delighted to be part of this group. This is exactly how a community theatre group should be.

In community theatre, you see different sides to people completely, some people who you think are very quiet are just the opposite. LAFTA gives people a chance to be somebody that they're not.

We bring people in the community together, we may be small in number, but we are one big family and we encourage new members to join us, there's so much that you can do!
Jimmy Johns.
Growing up on The Lizard, storytelling was all around me. People lived amateur dramatics - there was humour found in real poverty and stories made from real characters. Storytelling was a form of survival. Long may it continue to bring our communities together, just like LAFTA is doing.

People who might usually stay in their homes can come together, to share in and enjoy something which makes them feel less alone.
