We were delighted to be one of nine partner venues in the #REACH project which ran from April 2014 to December 2016 and toured nine high-quality, contemporary theatre productions to eight venues across the north east including ours.
We welcomed some fantastic shows, grew our audience tenfold and our volunteers gained so many new skills and knowledge along with a wide network of other venue staff to share idea’s and ask advice. All of this was made possible by Arts Council England funding and the amazing #REACH team from ARC Stockton and DepArts. A huge thank you to everyone who made the project possible. We’ve already seen a lasting legacy with one contemporary show already on sale and more to be booked throughout the year.
