This page is for BATS supporters, potential members, current members, Friends of BATS and lapsed members to find out about current and future productions, social and fundraising events. BATS is a self-funded, not-for-profit organisation that is run by volunteers who share a passion for musical theatre – whether on-stage or working behind the scenes. The Society does not receive any form of ongoing financial support to subsidise running costs or to assist with the cost of staging productions. Instead, BATS relies on the ticket sales and programme sales from its strong following of loyal audience members from Basingstoke and the surrounding areas to remain operationally viable.
