Love Your Local Theatre scheme announced
Over 100 regional theatres across the UK have joined the Love Your Local Theatre campaign, which sees the National Lottery provide up to £2 million to subsidise tickets.
Throughout March, lottery players will be able to get 2 for 1 tickets for select performances.
The campaign, supported by Kimberley Walsh and run by leading theatre membership body UK Theatre, subsidises over 150,000 tickets across the UK to support local theatres as they recover from the pandemic.
President of UK Theatre Stephanie Sirr said: “We are delighted to be working with The National Lottery on Love Your Local Theatre, the first time UK Theatre members across the country have united for a ticket promotion of this scale. We should be hugely proud in this country to have such an extensive, vibrant, and diverse range of regional theatres, all of which play a vital role in the theatre landscape of the UK and beyond. After such a turbulent two years, we want to shout about the fact that theatres are open and ready to reward audiences for their patience and loyalty – please visit your local theatre and help them continue to make brilliant creative work!”
