Fundraising

In 2024, our Chair Helen was wild swimming in lochs around Scotland to raise funds for The Forth Act – She raised £2,340 and you can see details of her challenge and fundraising here

Our Christmas Shows in 2023 and 2024 were produced in collaboration with St Salvador’s Scottish Episcopal Church with all proceeds helping to maintain their weekly community food initiative. Tickets are free with an optional food, cash or card donation at the event.

Reviews

Merry Crisis (Dec 2024) – Review from All Edinburgh Theatre ****

“The Forth Act’s festive offering, Merry Crisis! A Comedy in Carols, is a heartfelt new one-act with music, good cheer, holiday family drama and a thorough dusting of joy – all wrapped up in a neat bow.”

Blithe Spirit (Nov 2024)

“Up and coming local amateur company The Forth Act has boldly taken on one of Noel Coward’s best-known and oft-produced plays with strong success.”

A Christmas Carol (Dec 2023) – Review from All Edinburgh Theatre ****

“That more evergreen of Christmas stories – A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens – is given a faithful, tuneful and carefully contemporary spin by The Forth Act at Saint Salvador’s in Stenhouse.”

A Midsummer Night’s Dream (June 2023)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream : All Edinburgh Theatre.com****

“In a wood, a league without the Old Town, the players of the Forth Act have set out their stall in an accomplished and highly entertaining al-fresco production of Shakespeare’s great comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
