This autumn, Backstage, our new six-storey space next to our 207‑year‑old theatre opens its doors for the first time.

Backstage will double the number of education and community participants we can support each year. It will be a home for our groundbreaking employability and arts programmes and offer new spaces for creativity, collaboration and community.

Watch our new video to hear directly from those who will benefit the most, our education and community participants, sharing what Backstage means to them.

We’re aiming to raise £100,000 by the end of July and are 60% of the way there. Every bit of support, big or small, makes a difference. Find out more below.
