Save a Seat: Sean Foley and Carlos Acosta
Efforts to ‘save a seat’ pay off
A fundraising initiative by Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Birmingham Royal Ballet to help offset the loss of audiences due to coronavirus has raised more than £15,000 in donations. And law firm DLA Piper has matched the sum, which
will be used to cover some of the losses incurred during the ‘The Nutcracker’, which were meant to be staged in front of socially distanced audiences but then cancelled. All proceeds from the initiative – labelled ‘Save a
Seat’ - will be split equally between the REP and Birmingham Royal Ballet. REP artistic director Sean Foley said: “2020 proved
to be an unprecedented and extremely difficult year for theatres across the country, including here at the Rep. “However, in these challenging times, we have been
overwhelmed by the incredible support of audiences and partners – including the fantastic response from supporters to our ‘Save A Seat’ campaign and the
generous match-funding from DLA Piper LLP. “We very much look forward to a time in the not-
too-distant future when we can welcome all of those who have helped us back to the REP.” The REP said that since last March, more than 80 per
cent of its income has been lost, although the theatre remained ‘committed to finding inventive new ways of engaging a diverse spectrum of people and communities’. Royal Ballet director Carlos Acosta said: “Birmingham Royal Ballet are so grateful for the incredible support from ‘The Nutcracker’ at the Rep audiences and to DLA Piper for match funding the ‘Save a Seat’ campaign. “2020 was a difficult year for Birmingham Royal
Ballet and the arts industry, but the unwavering support from audiences has been a constant source of encouragement for the company and we cannot wait to return to the stage as soon as we can.”
