Raring2go! PLAY YOUR PART 10 The capital campaign to transform the Yvonne Arnaud into a cultural community hub with theatre at its core. The theatre is there for everyone, whether they choose to see a play, take part in a workshop, or event, or meet a friend for coffee. The building and the work enable people of all ages from across Surrey to come together. The year-long capital project, Play Your Part, will improve accessibility throughout the front of house areas. This includes the provision of a lift to all floors and new accessible toilets; create a multi-purpose accessible community room for engagement activities, events, rehearsals and workshops. There will also be a remodel of the public spaces to meet the growing demand for these areas and improve the theatre’s environmental sustainability by replacing outdated Play Your Part electrical and mechanical services with energy efficient alternatives. Upon completion of the project, the theatre will become a cultural and community hub, able to better serve Surrey and beyond. Shows will re-start in September and the theatre will remain open throughout the works with a great programme of entertainment. Panto will be unaffected by the works and will run as usual. So far the theatre has raised £5.06m including the generous support of Your Fund Surrey. They still need to generate a further £830,000 in order to complete the planned works, revolutionising the beautiful theatre; making it accessible, sustainable and fit for purpose for future generations To find out more about the project, visit: www.yvonne-arnaud.co.uk/play-your-part
