Mitchells Roberton will sponsor top amateur drama club Tryst Theatre for its 2008 season. Tryst, based in Falkirk, were established thirty years ago, and have won a host of drama titles throughout Scotland and the UK. They were Scottish champions three years ago with their critically-acclaimed performances of Giles Havergal's play, "Travels with my Aunt". Mitchells Roberton Marketing Manager Sarah Gurton said: "Over the years we've admired the many high-quality performances given by Tryst. Plays like "Teechers", "September in the Rain", "Travels with my Aunt", "The Steamie" and "Pugilist Specialist" show they can handle a wide and challenging repertoire, and we wish them well in 2008." The sponsorship will cover Tryst's participation in the Scottish Community Drama Association one-act festival plus the club's appearances in 2008 in festivals in Falkirk, East Kilbride, Welwyn Garden City and elsewhere. Tryst President Frank Murray said: "Tryst is delighted to be supported by such a long-established firm. Mitchell Roberton's generous financial support means Tryst can plan its season with confidence and perhaps even consider travelling to some new drama festivals in the UK and beyond. "Mitchells Roberton are wonderful patrons of the arts and last year sponsored the Citizens Theatre Christmas Show, "James and the Giant Peach". It goes without saying that Tryst is delighted with its peach of a sponsorship."
