Friends Scheme at The Bristol Improv Theatre

The Bristol Improv Theatre has evolved from a lively cultural arts hub where anyone can not only witness live theatre, but also learn, play, and  perform in a really participatory atmosphere, due to our patrons' support. Quite a few have been donating throughout the pandemic to keep us going and we cannot thank them enough for the continued support. Whilst we are in the process of applying to become a charity, we want to facilitate these donations in a more permanent way going forward via the Friends Scheme. 

The Friends Scheme is a philanthropic initiative for our theatre during these difficult times for the arts and theatre industry whilst returning to normal after the pandemic. We are a non-profit limited company with charitable aims and this scheme would make a fantastic start for our journey on becoming a charity. 

Patrons can choose to make a regular monthly donation of £5, £10, £15 or £20. The money donated will go towards continuing to keep our theatre open and thriving. The funds will be invested into improving our valuable work by trying to get more people into improv who wouldn’t be able to afford to otherwise, helping develop more spontaneous, creative and confident individuals by creation of more shows and classes.

By becoming a friend of the theatre, patrons will get to connect with more people in the community by having the chance to attend exclusive quarterly preshow get-togethers. The initial donors will help nurture a more engaging community of improv aficionados and help improv reach more audiences by creation of new shows and classes via outreach projects and much more.
