ACT (Associates)
Associates of Cygnet Theatre
ACT is:
- Social – buffets, meeting the actors, working together
- Supportive – stewarding, fund raising – enabling actors to learn from a working visit to the Edinburgh Festival. Bringing new audiences to our venue to support the work.
- Special – discounted tickets. Invitations to assessments, lectures and exclusive events.
If you would enjoy any of this why not join us today?
ACT (Associates of Cygnet Theatre) was formed in 1990 and since then members have been involved in lively and varied ways: holding fundraising events, acting as front of house staff and promoting the work of the Cygnet Company.
Associates help to organise occasional buffet suppers after performances which give the audience a chance to meet the actors. The company really appreciates this support.
The subscription is just £12 per annum for a single member or £20 for two people living at the same address. Life membership is also available at £105 single or £180 for a joint membership, and yearly membership is renewable every February.
Pro rata subscription rates are offered to those joining during the course of the year.
Membership benefits include a reduction on the price of their theatre ticket – or a free ticket if bringing four guests.
Associates are invited to watch ‘work in progress’ on our assessment evenings, to enjoy lectures and open rehearsals not otherwise open to the general public.
Associates gain a unique insight into the actors’ development during their three-year training at the New Theatre in Exeter.
