The Theatrical Guild (TTG) has received a £40,000 match funding donation from Sir Ian McKellen to support backstage and front of house theatre workers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic where theatre productions are “on hold” until the end of the year, possibly until 2021, and all production work has been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
Sir Ian selected The Theatrical Guild as one of several British theatre charities to receive donations from the proceeds of his one-man show “On Stage: With Tolkien, Shakespeare, Others and You!” and is calling on everyone who has attended a theatrical production in the past to put their hands in their pockets and so double his donation to raise £80,000 to distribute to those most in need.
Please DONATE NOW and every pound you give will be matched by Sir Ian (up to £40,000) and go to help someone in the theartre industry who has been affected by the impact of Coronavirus.
