Angels
It was not only the miners of Williams Creek who had Angels. Newman & Wright Theatre Company also have angels who, through financial and in-kind support make these productions possible.
The Theatre Royal and Newman & Wright now operate with no government support, subsidies or grants. A percentage of Theatre gross receipts go to support the town through the Barkerville Heritage Trust.

In 2006 the Theatre Royal began a Capital Upkeep Fund. Financial or in-kind donations to this fund will go directly to the upkeep of the Theatre.
In 2006-7 the stage lighting was ungraded to a digital system and all the benches were reupholstered. By the end of the season we had raised enough funds to help with the painting of the theatre. In 2007 we redecorated the balcony, adding plush theatre-style seating. We added a cyclorama to the stage with the assistance of Angels and assisted Barkerville Heritage Trust in the purchase of a new piano.
We are now working to upgrade the heating system, refinish the main floor, make repairs to the exterior shell and purchase a new piano.
