Mae gan yr ardal leol gymaint i gynnig o ran artistiaid hefyd a dwi’n angerddol dros roi llwyfan iddyn nhw yn ogystal ag artistiaid a chwmnïau cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol.

Pontio is a place that’s buzzing with life and energy, and a civic space of the highest quality. I’m passionate about Pontio being used by as many people as possible, and through presenting an exciting and varied programme, I believe we can continue to appeal to our current audiences and attract new ones.

The local area has so much talent to offer and I am a strong advocate of showcasing local talents, as well as offering a platform to national and international artists. I want people to experience a fun and joyful ethos when visiting Pontio, and for it to be seen as

a place that celebrates the diversity of our communities.

A place that brings people together to enjoy the arts in all its wonderful variety!

Behold, America: A History of ‘America First’ Noson gyda Sarah Churchwell An Evening with Sarah Churchwell

Nos Iau 23 Ionawr Thursday 23 January 7.30pm Theatr Bryn Terfel £12/£10 myfyrwyr ac o dan 18oed students and under 18s Ymunwch â ni ar gyfer mewnwelediad arbennig gan yr awdur Sarah Churchwell i hanes ‘America First’, hoff slogan Donald Trump a’i gefnogwyr. Er fod y farn boblogaidd yn priodoli’r cymal i Charles Lindbergh ac ‘America First Committee’ ymynysol 1940-1941, mewn difrif mae gan yr ymadroddiad hanes llawer hirach a thywyllach, stori o gynhenidiaeth a’r Ku Klux Klan, o ddiffynnaeth ‘Americaniaeth 100%’ ac ymynysoldeb, ac o ffasgiaeth brodorol y mae America yn parhau i gymryd arni ‘na all ddigwydd yma’.

Join author Sarah Churchwell for a fascinating insight into the history of ‘America First’, a favourite slogan of Donald Trump and his supporters.

Although popular wisdom attributes the phrase to Charles Lindbergh and the isolationist ‘America First Committee’ of 1940-1941, in fact the expression has a longer, darker history than that, a story of nativism and the Ku Klux Klan, of protectionism, ‘100% Americanism,’ and isolationism, and of a homegrown fascism that America continues to pretend ‘can’t happen here.’
