Buxton Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre have been successful in their application for funding from Theatres Trust.
Together with nineteen other venues spanning across the United Kingdom, the High Peak Theatre Trust (operators of Buxton Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre) will receive the grant award through the Small Grants Programme with The Linbury Trust.
The funding will be used towards the modernisation and futureproofing of the backstage communications system within the Grade II*-listed Buxton Opera House. This project is being undertaken to continue to offer the best experiences to touring productions and in-house productions, as well as providing industry standard training opportunities to young people across the local areas.
Amy Simcox, Head of Development at Buxton Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre, welcomed the news of Buxton Opera House’s successful funding application through the Small Grants Programme with The Linbury Trust: “We are absolutely delighted to be awarded this funding to improve our backstage communications system.
“The new system will be a vital contribution in enabling us to support young people to learn brand new technical skills, forming the foundation of a potential career in arts production. This funding also means we can continue to offer a great experience to both our touring and in-house productions for years to come. We are very grateful to the Theatres Trust for their support.”
Jon Morgan, Director of Theatres Trust also offered his congratulations to Buxton Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre in their successful grant award: “Theatres Trust is delighted to support this wonderful theatre with a project that will benefit young people training in theatre skills, audiences and performers alike.
