The company was formed in 1930 as Farnworth Amateur and Dramatic Society "to educate the public and develop their appreciation and taste in plays, drama, comedies, operettas, and other dramatic and operatic works" (extract from original constitution) and whilst we might not now put it in quite these terms, we have for almost eighty years, tried to present the very best of theatre to our audience.  With the exception of 1939-45 the company has produced a musical show annually, and from time to time a concert for other charitable organisations.  In the early 80's we added a biannual musical revue and in 1999 we introduced a Drama Section and have achieved success with our plays going from strength to strength each year.  In 2002 we produced our first pantomime to encourage youngsters to join us and experience the excitement and pleasures of live theatre.    In 2001 we formed The Entertainers, a group of members who enjoy going out to entertain others who may be unable to get to the theatre.  This has been very successful and has given pleasure to many.  Who knows what areas of performing arts we will venture into in years to come?   Whatever we do is down to the members, a family of over 130 members held together by the desire to be part of the performing arts. They are supported by a social committee and kept in touch with a monthly news letter and since we incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee in 1999, by an elected board of directors.  In 2001 we changed our name to Farnworth Performing Arts Company (Farnworth PAC) because it reflects better the different kinds of theatrical activities we are involved in and to achieve our aspirations to develop and grow in the future.  We have the organisational skills and knowledge to meet the public's appetite for live productions both in the theatre and in the community.  To do this we need your help and support in our future ventures, on stage, back stage, front of house, advertising or sponsoring and most importantly as an audience to perform to.  We welcome and encourage new members to join the Company in whatever aspect of theatrical activity.  Everyone has a talent to offer so if your place is not on the stage there is still a slot just for you.
