Impact is a hugely
creative and contemporary theatre company, founded by actress Amanda
Noar and now in its 12th year.
From humble beginnings with just a handful of locals, Impact has now
evolved into a thriving and highly successful theatre company.
Cast members are from all over North London, from various cultural
backgrounds and of all age groups.
The company based in Finchley, North
London is essentially made up of amateurs, drama students and "resting
pro's". Impact prides itself on being a community orientated group and
never turning anyone away, providing they are enthusiastic and willing
to have a go.
Each year Impact puts together a
number of activities, theatrical workshops, reviews, play readings and
various fundraisers for both adults and children. The year always
culminates in a major musical show. Not only well known favourites such
as "Annie" and "Little Shop of Horrors" but also the lesser known
avant-garde musical that gives audiences a taste of something unusual.
Impact now has a
dedicated group of performers numbering between 40-60 and also a very
loyal following in the community, that has resulted in sell out
performances for all our shows.
Each year Impact stages a musical
the profits from which are donated to charity. We are anxious to
stress that our main aim is to provide an opportunity for enthusiastic
people of all ages and abilities to develop their interests in all
aspects of the theatre while at the same time raising money for
worthwhile charities. To date we have raised over £90,000 for good
causes including:
Hearing Dogs for Deaf
People, War Child, Cancer Care, Sargent Cancer Care for Children, Breast
Cancer Unit - Northwick Park Hospital, Rett Syndrome Association, Karen
Morris Memorial Trust, Haemappeal, Royal Free Hospital, Richard
House Children's Hospice,
Variety Club of Great Britain - Sunshine Coaches, Fight for Life, Cystic
Fibrosis, Wizo - Aviv, Bobath Centre for Children
with Cerebral Palsy, Look Good..Feel Better
Currently we are
raising money for The
TreeHouse Trust - The national charity for autism education
Impact are winners of the
The 2010
National Operatic and Dramatic Association Flame
Award for "Inspiration Contribution to the Pursuit of Excellence in
Theatre"

Impact’s patron,
Neil Morrissey, is much more than just a name at the top of our headed
paper. Not only does he donate his time for fundraising events, he often
attends rehearsals offering encouragement and professional advice.
Even at the performances, you can sometimes catch him shaking a charity
bucket or trying to charm you into buying raffle tickets.
Impact’s reputation
has grown dramatically over recent years, earning television coverage on
shows such as "London Tonight" and "This Morning" as well as featuring
in many articles in local and National press.
