Dear Friend,
Arcola Theatre is suspending all public performances until further notice, in order to avoid contributing to the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).
The impact of COVID-19 is a critical threat to Arcola and to the livelihoods of all those who work in the arts. Most of Arcola’s funding comes from people like you, coming to see our performances. Without these performances, the vast majority of our income is gone.
But we do not believe that it is practical or responsible for us to stage shows while people’s lives are at risk. We will be contacting affected ticket-holders shortly.
We are determined to survive, to retain our dedicated team, and to get our shows back on track as soon as possible. So we need your help urgently.
Arcola Theatre is a registered charity, and any donation – large or small – will ensure that our theatre stays thriving, long after this crisis is past.
Arcola’s future is at risk. Will you help us survive?
With thanks from
Mehmet Ergen, Artistic Director
Leyla Nazli, Executive Producer
Dr Ben Todd, Executive Director
and all of us at Arcola Theatre
