Activities
The Questors theatre club was founded in 1929 and – pursuing an adventurous artistic policy led by the late Alfred Emmet – has grown into a vibrant non-professional theatre company which in the 2006-07 season staged 15 productions (drawing all actors and backstage teams from its membership), and five student and youth theatre productions. In August 2007, the company had 1,716 members (of whom 333 were actors and around 300 worked backstage and front-of-house, with the remainder supporting the theatre as audience members), as well as a youth theatre with nearly 500 members. The Questors also run a part-time student acting course based on the acting techniques of Constantin Stanislavski.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
