McCarthy’s History in Action
The vision for this event is one of encouraging community participation, by inviting the local community to be involved in its creation, either in performance or production capacity, as well as encouraging as wide an audience as possible. We are living in a tough economic climate, resources have become tighter, and though we feel this in the arts sector, we are acutely aware of the effects on local community; increased family pressures, isolation and general disconnection from society. Our company, RSVP (Red Sandstone Varied Productions) strives to produce theatrical events, which can bring the community together. Our underlying philosophy is that ‘we are all connected’. We believe in core values; family, community, concern for our neighbours, kindness and compassion to all.
With ‘History in Action’ we honour the past, where there is much to learn, as we help build the future; we encourage people to actively engage with life around them, as well as examining the history that brought us here. We believe that growth and transformation in society is affected positively by respecting our heritage in this way.
