The Edge is a vibrant theatre and arts centre in Chorlton, Manchester providing opportunities for all ages and backgrounds to become involved in the arts. It offers classes for professional performers, evening classes in Acting, Singing and Dancing, a youth theatre for young people aged 5 to 18 and community theatre projects including a weekly workshop for the unemployed and musical theatre projects for chldren and young people drawn from deprived areas. In May 2012, the Trustees of The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation agreed a one off grant to Waters Edge Arts in order to create sustainability for a vital, creative and community theatre in Chorlton. The Trustees of the Foundation are hopeful that this donation will help to lever support from other charitable organisations.
