Mikron Theatre sell donated boat to raise cash
Mikron Theatre's Ruby funding appeal has been given a boost with the donation of a cabin cruiser and four outboard motors which they are selling on eBay.
They had two successful trips to do shows on the Kennet & Avon Canal earlier this year but the company desperately needs funds if they are to tour again next year.
The 14ft FRP cruiser that they are selling on eBay is at: Mikron Cruiser and you can follow a link to the outboard motors from there.

Mikron Theatre lottery boost
Mikron Theatre will get £4,000 towards the writing of a new show about the Luddites for 2012 thanks the the success of the The Lawrence Batley Theatre's bid of £55,197 to the Jubilee People's Millions for its Cloth, Culture and Communities project.
The Project which will involve dozens of artists and communities from the Huddersfield, Dewsbury and the surrounding villages is a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Luddite uprisings in West Yorkshire when skilled workers smashed factory machines in resistance to the Industrial Revolution.

Mikron Theatre return to K&A tomorrow
Mikron Theatre, who staged their show, Beer Street, at the the Rowbarge Inn at Woohampton on the Kennet & Avon Canal on Friday are back again tomorrow (Monday 4 July 2011) to perform their latest play, Hell and High Water.
Mikron Theatre's play Hell and High Water goes back to 1700s when in the turbulent times of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester's demand for coal was insatiable.
There was an urgent need to get it there quickly and cheaply and three men had a vision and hundreds of others toiled to make it a reality.
Over rivers, under rock, through "Hell and High Water", they proved that determination can literally move mountains and in 1761 the first boatload of coal was carried smoothly along the Barton Aqueduct over the River Irwell on the Bridgewater Canal — it was an engineering marvel that was the wonder of its age.
The Guardian said of the Mikron Theatre Company: "The skill, ingenuity and vitality of the troupe is out of all proportion to the modesty of the settings in which they appear and their combined ability to create effective entertainment and instruction from minimal resources and basic techniques"

Mikron Theatre perfomance on the K&A Canal tonight
Beer Street, described as 'a fast-paced production, full of fun, music and lively bar room chat' asks if the traditional pubs have managed to survive as the social centre of communities in an age of pubcos, trendy wine bars and chilled out café bars and if they have been affected by the smoking ban and the new generation of 'binge drinkers' and the associated health problems.

Mikron Theatre bring two plays to the K&A
The busy tour schedule of Mikron Theatre brings them back to the area to perform their new show, 'Hell and High Water' and 'Beer Street' that was written to celebrate their 40th Anniversary, which coincided with the Campaign for Real Ale 40th Anniversary.
