Keep Theatre For Everyone
Help us make a positive impact on the lives of Black Country people
More people than ever are being excluded from arts and culture due to cost. We believe that everyone in the Black Country has the right to experience amazing performances that entertain, move and excite them, right on their doorstep.
That’s why we’re doing more than ever to ensure local people can continue to experience theatre and dance in their community venues - but we need your support.
With your donation, we can bring vibrant theatre shows to areas of the Black Country where artistic opportunities are scarce and many people are feeling the impact of the cost of living crisis. Your generosity fuels 'pay what you can' performances and low ticket prices, ensuring no one misses out due to financial constraints.
This year, we want to invest over £65,000 into making performances affordable for community venues across the Black Country. We need your help to raise £5,000 of this target before March 2025. This means we can support as many as 12 additional shows this year!
Where does your money go?
Your donation will go directly into booking a professional theatre company to perform at a community venue. Thanks to the support of Arts Council England, Postcode Culture Trust, and other funders, our staff costs and modest overheads are covered, so your money is directly funding amazing experiences for local people - and paying incredible artists, too!
Unfortunately, as fundraising becomes more competitive, we cannot continue to reach over 10,000 people every year without the help of individuals like you.
