We are delighted to announce that Next Stage Theatre Company has been awarded a grant from Arts Council England, through their Emergency Response Fund. As The Mission Theatre has been closed and so cannot generate income this grant is a real lifeline, allowing us to pay the day to day running costs of rent, servicing of equipment, insurance, professional fees and building maintenance that we will incur between now and October.

We would like to say a big thank you to Arts Council England and to The National Lottery for supporting us, and we look forward to welcoming audiences back as soon as it is safe for us to do so.
