Today is #WorldTheatreDay 🎭, celebrating the people and organisations who make theatre happen. As you know, this is a period of huge uncertainty for the industry and we'd like to give a shout-out to everyone who has reached out in the last week to show their support ♥️ (1/7)
Our building may be closed but our core mission is about gathering people and we are going to continue to do that even if we can’t do it physically anymore.
Join their mailing list 📩& follow their social channels 👍. It's free and you can keep up to date with their latest news and find out about upcoming productions. (3/7) #WorldTheatreDay
Book tickets for one of their upcoming shows🎟️. Treat yourself to a theatre trip once this is all over. It will feel very special! (5/7) #WorldTheatreDay
Send us your love with a message on social, in an email or just a smile ♥️. In times like these, it’s so important that we can stay kind, support each other and come together to share in the things we love. (7/7) #WorldTheatreDay
We look forward to welcoming you all back very soon! #WorldTheatreDay 🎭
