This multi-year agreement sees Trethowans supporting the Winchester based charity in its mission to delight and unite their community, helping to create a vibrant city in which to work, live and play.
Deryck Newland, Chief Executive of Play to the Crowd comments “We are hugely grateful to the team at Trethowans for their investment in us. The power of live performance should never be underestimated in its ability to create happy and healthy communities. Trethowans generous support allows us to continue to bring live performance to Winchester and in particular to the magical Theatre Royal Winchester.”
Kirstie Mathieson, Communications and Development Director of Play to the Crowd, continues, “Local business support is vital to the future of the arts. Our thanks go to the whole team at Trethowans for their support, enthusiasm and energy for this new partnership.”
Emma Wilders-Pratt, Partner and Head of Trethowans’ Winchester office, said: “Theatre Royal Winchester is an asset to the community, the venue itself is full of history and the Play to the Crowd charity brings people together with its arts and education programmes. Trethowans are proud to invest in the theatre and charity as the Strategic Partner and look forward to supporting them through this new partnership.”
Theatre Royal Winchester presents a diverse programme each year, presenting over 320 performances to over 74,000 people – from traditional plays to new-writing, music to comedy, family shows to talks as well as providing a platform for many local community groups.
