0669: Until the Curtains Rise May 12, 2020

Show notes

Nick hands the mic over to Maryann Wright and Estee Stimler to talk about their fundraising effort - Until the Curtains Rise.

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on UK theatre artist's futures, and they need our support.

Thousands of actors, writers, directors, producers, designers, technicians and administrators' income has been eliminated, with no knowing when theatre will be back.

Until The Curtains Rise is a crowdfunding initiative, inviting you to bid on rewards generously donated by West End stars and creatives.

All money raised is administered by Acting For Others, who support theatre workers in times of need through their 14 member charities.

Together we can keep theatre alive Until the Curtains Rise.
