Friends of York Theatre Royal

The Friends of York Theatre Royal are an enthusiastic, theatre-loving group: keen to support local theatre, raise funds and meet others who share a passion for the arts.

In 2009, the Friends (formerly known as York Theatre Royal’s 'Theatre Club') were proud to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Becoming a Friend of York Theatre Royal is an opportunity to get involved in numerous events and activities, including:

• Meeting new people;
• Visiting places of interest both within North Yorkshire and further afield;
• Attending monthly luncheons;
• Fundraising;
• Participation in exclusive, Friends only events;
• Much more!

In recent years the Friends have raised over £10,000 for the Theatre to help with a variety of projects.

In 2010 £3,000 was given towards the commissioning of Mike Kenny's Peter Pan (performed in the 2011 Ensemble Season), and in 2011 the Friends made two donations, totalling £6,500, to purchase chairs and tables for use in the De Grey Rooms.

The Friends are keen to welcome new faces to participate in their numerous social and fund-raising initiatives, bringing fresh ideas and supporting local theatre.
