Deadline Looms for Questors Theatre Fundraiser |
|
Appeal a hundred pounds short of amount needed to trigger matched funding
The deadline is fast approaching for the end of The Questors crowdfunding appeal. All donations must be made by 7 September and, at this stage, it appears it might be difficult to reach the £100,000 hoped for to replace the roof on the Judi Dench Playhouse. A more realistic objective is £30,000 which is the amount that needs to be raised to trigger an extra £10,000 of matched funding. At the time of writing the funding drive was just over £100 short of that target having seen pledges from 331 people. The Judi Dench Playhouse has now come to the end of its life and, despite periodic patching, leaks badly after rainfall. This renovation is therefore essential to ensure the safety, well-being and comfort of cast, crew, members, audiences, and the continued production of shows. There are fears that if the venue fails to raise the money needed for renovation, the theatre could fall into disuse prompting the interest of developers in acquiring what would be a very valuable site.
