Greenwich Theatre has signed a long lease with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, securing the future of the south London venue for a further 24 years.
As a registered charity, the theatre has committed to continue its programme of outreach and engagement activities, from work in schools to festival events and subsidised ticket price initiatives, all offered in parallel with a nationally significant programme of in-house productions, national touring companies, emerging artist support and family theatre.
Artistic Director James Haddrell added: “This marks the culmination of years of work by our small and incredibly dedicated staff team and represents the latest stage in the development of the company.
“With the lease in place, we can now look beyond the immediate future and start to make some major long-term plans.”
Councillor Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities, said: “By hosting spaces where people can laugh and escape to faraway lands through the power of storytelling and creativity, these organisations are crucial to encouraging social cohesion and creating a place where people can connect with each other.”
