CROESO

Theatr Brycheiniog is a charity founded by the people of Brecon to be the community hub of the town.

Clearly, the focus has been, and always will be, on the arts but, over the years, it has also become a base for learning, meeting and commercial activity.

Did you know that the Royal Society Of Anaesthetists hold their annual conference at the theatre? That the local tourism partnership rent office space in the building? That the theatre doubles as a classroom for Neath & Port Talbot College performing arts courses?

Theatr Brycheiniog is a meeting place, a classroom, a conference centre. It contributes so much to the well-being of its residents through learning, participating, socialising or just simply coming together to be entertained.

Theatr Brycheiniog is a valuable resource for the well-being of the local population, the economic good of the region and the cultural life of this nation.

However, we are heading into an era of reduced funding which will require even greater emphasis on commercial income from hires as well as generosity from the community through donations, volunteering and advocacy. Please help us carry on our work see page 28 for how to contribute by donating and keep an eye out for new initiatives coming soon.

Mae Theatr Brycheiniog yn elusen wedi ei sefydlu gan bobl Aberhonddu. Yn amlwg, bu’r prif sylw ar y celfyddydau, ac felly y bydd hi’n parhau hefyd. Er hyn, gyda threigl y blynyddoedd mae’r theatr wedi esblygu i fod yn ganolfan ar gyfer dysgu, cyfarfod a masnachu.

Oeddech chi’n gwybod fod Cymdeithas Frenhinol yr Anaesthetwyr yn cynnal eu cynhadledd flynyddol yn y theatr? Bod y bartneriaeth dwristiaeth leol yn llogi gofod swyddfa yn yr adeilad? Bod y theatr hefyd yn ystafell ddosbarth ar gyfer cyrsiau celfyddydau perfformio Coleg Castell-nedd Port Talbot?

Mae Theatr Brycheiniog yn fan cyfarfod, ystafell ddosbarth a chanolfan gynadledda. Mae’n cyfrannu cymaint at les y trigolion drwy roi cyfle iddyn nhw ddysgu, cymryd rhan, cymdeithasu neu wneud dim byd ond dod ynghyd i gael dipyn o adloniant.

Mae Theatr Brycheiniog yn adnodd gwerthfawr i les yr ardal, i iechyd economaidd y rhanbarth ac i fywyd diwylliannol ein cenedl.

Fodd bynnag, rydym yn symud tuag at gyfnod o lai o gyllid a fydd yn gofyn am hyd yn oed mwy o bwyslais ar incwm masnachol yn sgil llogi yn ogystal â haelioni oddi wrth y gymuned drwy roddion, gwirfoddoli ac eirioli. Rhowch gymorth i ni gyflawni'n gwaith - gweler tudalen 28 am sut i gyfrannu drwy roddion a chadwch lygad allan am fentrau newydd a ddaw cyn bo hir.

A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS IN WALES

Yn uchafbwynt dathliad byd-eang a gydol y flwyddyn o fywyd a gwaith Dylan Thomas, mae’r cynhyrchiad hwn yn ddarlun newydd sy’n galw i gof flynyddoedd cynnar y bardd, gan ddefnyddio llawer o’i straeon byrion a darllediadau i greu bywyd rhithiol plentyndod llawn atgofion am eira mawr. Â’i ddelweddiaeth, hiwmor a dynoliaeth rhyfeddol, ‘diwylliant Cymru ar ei orau’ yw A Child's Christmas In Wales yn ôl wyres Dylan Thomas.

Gwledd Nadolig orfoleddus i’r teulu i gyd.

WALES THEATRE COMPANY & SWANSEA GRAND THEATRE

Wedi’i addasu gan Michael Bogdanov o’r stori fer gan Dylan Thomas gyda cherddoriaeth a geiriau gan Jack Herrick.

The climax of a world-wide and year-long celebration of the life and works of Dylan Thomas, this production is a new and evocative picture of the poet's early years, drawing on many of his short stories and broadcasts to create childhood wonderland of snow-bound memory.

With its stonishing imagery, humour and humanity, A Child's Christmas In Wales is, according to Thomas’s grand-daughter ‘Welsh culture at its best.’. A joyous Christmas treat for all the family.

Adapted by Michael Bogdanov from the short story by Dylan Thomas with music and lyrics by Jack Herrick.
