WORCESTER’ S Swan Theatre is one of only 14 theatres across the UK to receive Theatre Trusts Small Grants Programme funding.
The Theatres Trust has awarded more than £69,000 from its Small Grants Programme, supported by The Linbury Trust, to theatres to support them post-pandemic.
The theatres will use the grants, which are from the first round of funding, to carry out small capital works to improve their accessibility, sustainability and viability, allowing them to welcome back audiences old and new after the devastating period of closure.
The Theatre Trust grant enables Worcester Live to improve the standard of the remaining downstairs dressing room at the Swan Theatre in line with other backstage facilities, whilst also offering an increased level of accessibility to disabled performers/actors.
Jon Morgan, director of Theatres Trust, said: “There will be tough times ahead for theatres,so we are pleased to be able to support these treasured theatres to make positive changes that will help them thrive.”
