Time is running out. With just three days to go until 31 Jul, this is your last chance to donate to our Backstage campaign and be part of something transformative.
In our new video, some friends of The Old Vic and our Artistic Director Matthew Warchus reflect on what The Old Vic means to them, as we look towards the next step in our journey with Backstage.
Backstage is a new six-storey space connected to our 207-year-old theatre. It will be the heart of our groundbreaking community, education and artist development work and will have many spaces you can enjoy from this autumn onwards, including:
– A welcoming cafe which transforms into a vibrant bar in the evening
– A Script Library, packed with scripts for you to use
– A Writer’s Room for creatives to work and collaborate in
– A bookable events space which has great views across London.
Every pound brings us closer to opening the doors of this exciting new space. Please don’t wait — donate today and help support our future.
Take part
Ways you can support before 31 July:
– Make a donation (and have it doubled)
– Enter our prize draw
– Name a barn door
– Name a seat in our auditorium.
