To secure the future of Brentwood Theatre for the community of Brentwood, enabling us to recover from the effects of the pandemic.

We're still collecting donations

On the 9th April 2021 we'd raised £10,385 with 212 supporters in 35 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

Brentwood Theatre is your theatre. It's your stage for your group to perform, for your business to hold meetings or for your family to enjoy a performance. For over 25 years we've been at the heart of your community in Brentwood but now we need your help to Raise The Curtain on Brentwood Theatre.

Brentwood Theatre is home to (clockwise from top left): Storytelling & Rhyme Time sessions, family Christmas shows, 40+ local musical theatre, drama and dance groups, the Get Into Arts Festival, The Brent Awards celebrating excellence in local performance, technical theatre training and experience, Brentwood Community Cinema and much more.

Why we need you

We are an entirely independent theatre and registered charity receiving no regular funding or support. Unfortunately we haven't been successful in being awarded any funding from the government's £1.57bln Cultural Recovery Fund, so we need your support now. We love the amazing community of Brentwood, we want to be able to continue to provide a fantastic community space for now and the future, and we'd like you to be a part of that.

This is Where You Come In!

Right now we're overflowing with ideas and plans for the future, from workshops and shows through to redevelopment and improvement of facilities and we will be applying to Arts Council England to fund these, but we need your help to guarantee that future. With pledges of support from you and others we get the funds to survive through the pandemic and ensure we can re-open our doors once it's safe to do so. You get to show that you care about the theatre, its aims and are willing to invest in its future as Brentwood's only dedicated centre for the arts.

No donation is too small, whatever you can donate helps says that you're with us and want to help Raise The Curtain on Brentwood Theatre with us!

Sharing is also a huge help! If you choose to donate, please tweet or post that you have, and we’ll retweet/share you: this really helps to spread the word.
