Hundreds of families receive free theatre tickets

Thu, 14 Dec 2023

Hundreds of families have experienced live performances at the Gaiety Theatre this year as part of a ticketing initiative to boost community engagement with the arts.

More than 1,000 tickets were made available during the initiative, which is funded by the Isle of Man Arts Council and delivered in partnership with the VillaGaiety and local charities.

The Children’s Centre, Rebecca House, Cruse Bereavement Support, Crossroads and Manx MenCap have shared tickets to shows, such as Zog and the Ministry of Science Live, with their service uses.

More than 600 free places have also been made available for Stage-Ed’s production of Aladdin, which is considered one of the highlights of the VillaGaiety’s festive calendar.
