Pull Up a Chair and Sponsor a Seat!
You can sponsor an elephant and sponsor a star
and now you can sponsor a seat! We've just introduced a
creative way to make a special gift and at the same time support
the arts in the area.
This new scheme makes it possible for
individuals to make an affordable purchase, maybe in their own name
or perhaps as a gift to a friend for a special occasion or
birthday, or even to mark the arrival of a
child. Sponsorship of a seat would also be
a wonderful memorial to any regular theatre goer and leave a
lasting legacy in their name. Each sponsored seat
is marked by a specially engraved plaque in the sponsors’
name.
Community groups and small businesses may also
feel this is the perfect way to make their mark and support the
local arts scene for a one off cost of £150.
To launch the scheme a very special
presentation was made recently to Lights volunteer Peter
Redmond. At 81 years Peter is currently the oldest “Bright
Spark” volunteer and has been involved in the theatre and the arts
in Andover for many years, previously working as the Theatre
Administrator when the venue was operated by the local
college. He regularly give his time to work “front of
house” on a variety of shows.
