As you've probably seen, we're building a theatre on Clifton Terrace, right beside Finsbury Park station. We're hoping to be in the building by the end of the year, opening two theatre spaces with an exciting and diverse artistic programme, not to mention a fantastic café and bar that will be open all day! We've been conducting tours for people who work in the industry, but we'll also be doing more tours for local residents in the coming months. If you're interested in seeing the site, then please do email Amy on info "at" parktheatre.co.uk<div><br></div><div>We've raised over two million pounds privately to build the theatre, but we're still trying to raise a final £150,000 to build a dedicated Education Floor that will house all of our outreach work. From day one, we'll work with over 500 children and 200 adults, targeting groups that are often excluded from theatre. We believe that a great theatre should be at the centre of its community, and that it can make a huge difference to the local area. </div><div><br></div><div>We spend every day pursuing trusts, funds and corporations, but ultimately we aren't going to be able to secure the space without the help of local residents. We've just launched a Just Giving campaign, where you can read more about how we plan to transform the creative life of the area. Even the smallest donations bring us closer to our target, but some of the best ways to help us are completely free. If you like our vision for the area, then letting other people know about us and rallying support for our cause will make a massive difference overall. Let's start changing Finsbury Park today!</div><div><br></div><div>
