As another summer of live theatre delights audiences in Frinton-on-Sea, Frinton Summer Theatre is entering a new era under its recently appointed board of trustees, with the continued support of long-standing sponsor Ellisons.
Founded in 1934, Frinton Summer Theatre has been at the heart of the town’s cultural life for more than 90 years. This year’s season has featured acclaimed productions including Macbeth, Write Me a Murder, Sweeney Todd, and The Unfriend, and culminates with a spectacular Big Top production of Cameron Mackintosh’s Half a Sixpence on the Frinton Greensward, continuing the theatre’s proud tradition of bringing outstanding professional theatre to audiences from across Essex and beyond.
As the theatre looks to the future under its new trustees, Ellisons is proud to continue its long-standing sponsorship, reflecting the firm’s commitment to supporting the organisations that bring communities together and help make places like Frinton so distinctive.
Michelle Lamm, Partner at Ellisons and Head of the firm’s Frinton office, said: “Frinton Summer Theatre has been part of the town’s story for generations. It’s one of the organisations that gives Frinton its unique character, bringing people together and creating lasting memories for residents and visitors alike. This year marks a new chapter for both the theatre and Ellisons. The theatre is looking ahead under its new board of trustees and we’ve recently moved into new premises in Frinton. While things change, our commitment to the town remains constant. Our move reflects our confidence in Frinton and our belief in its future, and continuing to support Frinton Summer Theatre is another way we’re investing in a community we’re proud to serve. We’re delighted to continue supporting a theatre that has contributed so much to the life of the town for more than 90 years, and we wish the trustees every success as they build on that remarkable legacy.”
Elizabeth O’Connell, Chair of Frinton Summer Theatre, said: “We’re thrilled to have Ellisons continuing as one of our valued sponsors as we begin this exciting new chapter. Long-standing partnerships like this play an important role in helping us bring high-quality professional theatre to Frinton each summer while preserving a tradition that has been enjoyed by generations of audiences. We’ve been thrilled by the response to this year’s season and look forward to welcoming many more people over the coming weeks to enjoy everything Frinton Summer Theatre has to offer.”
Ellisons recently relocated its Frinton office to new premises on Connaught Avenue, reaffirming the firm’s long-term commitment to the town and the surrounding area. The firm’s continued support for Frinton Summer Theatre reflects its wider commitment to the communities it has served across the East of England for generations.
