The Winds of Change theatre group is holding a meeting on April 20 to discuss whether to end its year-long merger with Liverpool’s Astor Theatre.
Nick Moase, acting chairman of the Winds of Change, said in an interview that he called the meeting in response to concerns about recent controversy around the Astor.
Winds of Change Dramatic Society members voted to merge with the Astor Theatre Society in February 2023. But recently, members and former members of the group wanted to re-examine the relationship, after the resignation of the Astor’s associate artistic director, and the resulting community uproar.
John Simmons, president of the Astor Theatre board says they would like Winds of Change to stay, but if they don’t they’re still welcome at the theatre.
(Disclosure: Nick Moase is also technical director of QCCR Radio)
