We are the aficionados. The keenest of the keen. We are The Court Supporters.
The Court Theatre is a not-for-profit charitable organisation, which means we depend on public support like yours. Yes, you can buy a box office ticket, but you can also do so much more.
"The Court enjoys an extraordinarily close and mutually beneficial relationship with the Supporters.
It is certainly a most unique organisation, providing financial assistance, opening night suppers generously available to all comers and the most dedicated group of volunteer ushers I have ever come across in any theatre, anywhere.
Their range of fundraising activities is extensive, and all this is achieved by people who are here for the same reason we all are – we love theatre.”
- Philip Aldridge, Former Chief Executive
