Dedicate a Seat
A seat with your name
Take a seat at Nottingham Playhouse
Whether you want to remember a loved one, celebrate a special occasion or wish to share your passion for live theatre, you can say it and show it with a seat dedication.
Dedicate a Seat Today
Dedicating a seat is just £300 (£240 for Playhouse Pass Members) and your plaque will remain in place for ten years, working out at just £30 a year.
If you would like your plaque to last even longer then you can purchase a plaque in perpetuity for £2,500, perfect for remembering a loved one.
*Our standard commemorative plaques are in place for a decade. After 10 years we will contact you to ask if you would like to renew. If you have chosen to donate £2,500 for a permanent plaque, we will keep you informed of any changes to the auditorium (e.g. new seats) but rest assured that your dedication will remain in place and you will not be asked to renew.
More about dedicating a seat:
• All funds from your seat dedication will be donated to Nottingham Playhouse Trust (Charity No. 1109342), generating vital funds for our community work and world-class productions.
• You can choose to receive a commemorative certificate with your dedication, perfect for a gift or presentation, at no extra cost.
• Seat dedications are limited to around 100 characters (including spaces) on your plaque.
• Seats are subject to availability and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Dedicating a seat does not guarantee you the right to book this seat for performances.
• Dedications can be made on behalf of individuals or organisations.
“I have so many glorious memories of the time I spent at Nottingham Playhouse. In fact, I could probably write a small book! I was part of a fantastic company in the 1960s, under the directorship of the peerless John Neville. I was lucky enough to work on some fabulous productions and was even part of a company that toured West Africa in 1963 – the first professional theatre company to do so. It was a very happy time.
When I was asked to become Patron of the Nottingham Playhouse Seat Appeal, I was delighted to do my bit. I believe passionately in the importance of regional theatre. With local authority funding on the decrease, and corporate sponsorship of the arts waning, it is so important for us, as individuals, to play our part and support our local theatres.
It is in your hands to help ensure that Nottingham Playhouse can continue to offer inspirational education work, can keep producing world-class work, and can continue to give new actors and directors the kind of opportunities I enjoyed in my time here.”
