It costs around £500,000 to produce the summer season across the McGrigor Hall and the Greensward Tent each year - ticket sales only account for 68% of this. This means we need to secure over £90,000 by additional means.
The Theatre is a registered Charity. Every penny we earn from sales goes directly back into the theatre to put on productions for the community.
The theatre offers first opportunities to more than 20 people a year, across front of house, the stage and crew. We are dedicated to providing young people with their first taste of professional theatre.
Our Trustees (including our Artistic Director and Producer Clive Brill) are unpaid and offer their time to the theatre free of charge.
If applicable, please Gift Aid your donation to allow us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated.
