Family First Nights 2008
FAMILY FIRST NIGHTS is a unique opportunity for low-income families to enjoy a great London theatre production for just £5.00 a ticket. Each summer, from the end of July and through to September, families are able to access the best seats for a selection of top musicals, plays and other productions.
We work through representatives and ambassadors from community organisations, social service agencies, housing associations, and charities across London and the South-East to identify families to take part in the programme. Only families referred to us by one of these agencies are able to take part in the programme, and we regret we are unable to work with individual families.
A family can consist of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, guardians or carers, but MUST include young people between the ages of four and sixteen.
Once families have taken part in the summer programme, we believe it is right to keep in contact and every autumn send them further theatre offers for the Christmas and New Year period. We send new offers as we get them, and we encourage the partner organisations to take an active role in promoting discounted theatre to their families.
