Tickets for some of the West End’s biggest shows will be on offer in the Watermill Theatre’s fundraising Big West End Ticket Raffle.
Aimed at supporting the Newbury venue’s Propel fundraising campaign which was launched after the popular regional theatre’s entire Arts Council funding was withdrawn, the Big West End Ticket Raffle will offer tickets for shows including The Little Big Things, The Unfriend, Frozen, Guys & Dolls, The Time Traveller’s Wife and The Phantom of the Opera.
Announcing the initiative, Claire Murray, the Watermill Theatre’s executive director, said: “As we look to the future as an independent theatre company, we are excited to offer audiences a way to both support our fundraising and be in with a chance of winning tickets to some of the West End’s most in demand shows. We’ve been overwhelmed by the strength of the support we’ve been shown by the theatre community in creating this raffle and we’re grateful to everyone who has donated a prize.”
A spokesperson from Playful Productions, one of the country’s leading producers, added: “The UK is rightly famous around the globe for the vibrancy, diversity and quality of its performing arts. Regional theatres across the country, including powerhouse producing houses like the Watermill, are crucial to supporting this thriving landscape: they create life-long relationships with local audiences, provide access to world-class theatre experiences, tell new and overlooked stories in innovative ways, and inspire and develop the next generation of talent.”
