Harris Lipman contribute to National Youth Theatre 50th anniversary celebrations
28/11/2006
Harris Lipman recently enjoyed a highly entertaining evening at the
National Youth Theatre’s (NYT) spectacular 50th anniversary gala.
Specialists in accounting for clients in the theatre industry, the
leading firm shares a long established working relationship with the
nationally acclaimed organisation. Avid supporters of the NYT, the
Harris Lipman team supported the event and enjoyed exclusive tables
from which to watch the superb evening’s entertainment.
Held at the Battersea Park Events Arena, the prestigious black tie
event began with a champagne reception and entertainment, followed
by dinner and a show by the theatre’s own youth cabaret. Then
much to the audience’s delight, one of the theatre’s finest
success stories and the current top comedy duo in the UK, Matt Lucas
and David Walliams of comedy act Little Britain dropped by and stole
the show with an hilarious 30 minute performance. Plus, to add the
final touch to the fine itinerary, attendees also enjoyed dancing and
carriages after midnight.
Barry Lewis, senior partner at Harris Lipman comments: "As a firm
deeply rooted in the theatre industry, we have always taken a great
interest in the NYT as one of the best youth theatre organisations
in the UK, if the not the world. We were extremely excited to attend
the event to honour the organisation’s significant and unsurpassed
contribution to British theatrics and the acting industry over the
last 50 years.
"The evening was naturally a huge success and thoroughly enjoyable,
a particular highlight would have to be the Little Britain sketch which
to watch live is a truly hilarious experience. We wish the NYT another
fifty years of a similar level of success."
Established in 1956, the NYT has since developed into the UK’s
premiere youth arts organisation, providing theatrical training to
children aged between 13-21 from a diverse range of backgrounds. Over
the years the prestigious theatre has developed a whole host of top
British acting talent including Helen Mirren, Orlando Bloom, Daniel
Day-Lewis and current James Bond star Daniel Craig.
The 50th anniversary celebrations helped to raise over £85,000
for the NYT charity, which funds the provision of accessible opportunities
for a diverse range of young people in the UK, particularly children
from the most disadvantaged backgrounds. Harris Lipman donated a prize
of two seats at their exclusive Tottenham Hotspur football club box,
which generated an impressive £800.
