Thank you for your excellent support as usual for the “Lark in the Park”, our annual charity event held in Benahavis. We raised a total of 4290 € with 2066 € going to “Alzheimer and Dementia Support”, the new charity set up by one of our members, Rebecca Flowerdew. The remaining 2066 € will be used to provide venues for our performances. This is the first time that we have used some of the money raised.

Extra Special Newsletter!!

As I’m sure you are aware, ITS have been struggling to find a new home since the closure of the Atalaya Park Hotel in 2017.

We have a new and exciting development to announce – a benefactor has come forward and offered to purchase a unit in San Pedro which we can transform into our very own Studio Theatre! This would mean that after over 40 years putting on shows along the coast we would at last have somewhere to call ‘Home’.
