Theatre backers in line for behind the scenes tour

The ongoing work at Perth Theatre.
The ongoing work at Perth Theatre.

Benefactors backing the multi-million pound transformation of historic Perth Theatre are being promised an exclusive behind the scenes look at the restoration.

Theatre lovers who give the gift of a theatre seat this Christmas will receive a present in the form of a tour of the ongoing redevelopment works.

The creative organisation behind Perth Concert Hall and Perth Theatre already has pledges of £15.1 million towards the £16.6m transformation from project partners including Perth and Kinross Council, Creative Scotland, The Gannochy Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund, but is looking to bridge the shortfall.

Anyone who contacts Horsecross Arts to dedicate either a studio theatre seat (from £250) or an auditorium seat (from £400) before December 31 will be able to book two spaces on a site tour in the New Year.

Perth panto’s Fairy Maid of Perth, AmyBeth Littlejohn, who stars in Dick McWhittington in Perth Concert Hall until Boxing Day, donned a hard hat and high-vis jacket to highlight the festive offer.

Dedicating a seat with a personally engraved plaque in Perth Theatre is one of many fundraising options on offer to help meet the final £1.5m to fully kit out the restored and redeveloped Perth Theatre when it reopens in late 2017.

From a Perth Theatre supporter’s pin badge for a donation of £20 or more to an acknowledgement on the Perth Theatre Donor Wall for a gift upwards of £1,000, there is an option for all levels of support.

The transformation of the theatre, which has launched the careers of many well-known actors, will restore and redevelop one of Scotland’s oldest and best loved theatres for generations to come.

The B-listed Edwardian auditorium will be brought back to its former glory and a new 200-seat studio theatre will be created.

To dedicate a theatre seat and for more information on all the Transform Perth Theatre fundraising options call the development team on 01738 472731, e-mail transform@perththeatre.co.uk or visit www.transformperththeatre.co.uk.
