“THE TOBACCO FACTORY WORKS WONDERS WITH LITTLE MONEY; WITH MORE INVESTMENT IT WOULD PERFORM MIRACLES” Susannah Clapp, The Observer & BBC Radio 3

In 2010, we welcomed over 88,000 audience members to 609 performances of 127 shows across 48 weeks at the Tobacco Factory and Brewery Theatres, plus over 16,400 more to 1,037 classes, workshops and other events…

To do all we do now costs £1.3m a year and we are proud that we earn over 85% of this directly, including through box office, bar sales and hire of our spaces. With 7% more coming from public funds, this leaves 8% of our annual turnover still to find from private sources.

It is the enthusiastic loyalty of our audiences and generous support from individuals, trusts, foundations and businesses that truly sustain the Theatres. We are hugely grateful to them all.

The future of theatre lies less and less in gilded playhouses and more and more in places like this.
