The Court Supporters

Who are the Supporters?

The Court Theatre Supporters have existed in various guises since the initial formation of The Court Theatre Company. This voluntary group provides invaluable support to the Theatre and contributes to the overall success of the company.

Activities that the Supporters undertake include
- Coordinating fundraising initiatives
- Managing and staffing the Coffee Bar
- Managing and staffing the Costume Hire
- Providing ushers and programme sellers for all shows
- Catering opening night suppers

“The Court enjoys an extraordinarily close and mutually beneficial relationship with the Supporters. It is certainly a most unique organisation, providing financial assistance, opening night suppers generously available to all comers and the most dedicated group of volunteer ushers I have ever come across in any theatre, anywhere. Their range of fundraising activities is extensive, and all this is acheived by people who are here for the same reason we all are - we love theatre. ”

Philip Aldridge - Chief Executive, The Court Theatre
