The Almeida is an extraordinary theatre. The world’s finest acting, writing, designing and directing talents produce some of their best work in our unique and much loved space, ensuring that the theatre is alive each night with performances that inspire and excite our audiences. 
 
However, the freedom and the means whereby we can be bold, risk-taking and distinctive and able to produce work of the highest quality, costs money. £3.9m per annum to be precise. Every year we raise £1.2m of that ourselves – Arts Council England subsidy and income from ticket sales alone do not provide sufficient funds to sustain our programming of work onstage and in the community.

We are, therefore, hugely reliant upon the financial commitment of a group of very special individuals, trusts and companies who choose to become involved at the heart of our theatre.  Their support ensures that we can plan ambitiously for the future with security and confidence, whilst keeping ticket prices affordable (with over 40 seats sold each night for just £8). It also means we can continue to deliver Almeida Projects - our inspirational programme of work with young people.
 
I do hope that you too might consider becoming involved with our wonderful theatre, at whatever level - helping us to continue turning our dreams into reality.
