  • Happy New Year! Welcome to the first weekly newsletter of 2022. We hope you are keeping well and coping during this time.

    Watch and share our ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ New Year Sale video
    We have now officially launched our ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ promotional film celebrating theatre and its audiences (via the medium of the iconic Queen hit!) and giving the New Year Sale a big push as we enter 2022. An accompanying press release also went out this afternoon.

    We’re really keen to get this video shared as far and wide as possible, so anything you, your colleagues and your clients can do to share on social etc would be hugely appreciated – particularly those shows participating in the New Year Sale, some of which feature in the video!

    And please also pass on to your social media colleagues so they can help too – the Don’t Stop Me Now video is now live on YouTube and available to share here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EodcHJxZq50 
    We’ve tweeted about it here, posted on Facebook here and on Instagram here if you’re able to like, share or repost.
