Theatre has always been a place where communities come together — to laugh, to escape, to imagine. But in recent years, arts venues across the country have faced rising costs, reduced funding, and ongoing uncertainty. Like many small theatres, The Attic Theatre and Tread the Boards Theatre Company continue to work hard to keep independent, affordable, high‑quality theatre alive in Stratford‑upon‑Avon.
Your support can make a real difference.
Every contribution helps us continue producing new work, supporting local artists, and keeping Fringe Theatre thriving in our town. With your help, we can protect the creative spaces that bring people together and ensure that live performance remains accessible for everyone.
If you’re able, please consider making a donation to help secure the future of our theatre.
