Why support the Roses Theatre
The Roses is a registered charity but receives only a small amount of public subsidy. So we greatly appreciate the support of our friends and individual donors, local businesses, charitable trusts and other grant making bodies that help us continue to enrich the cultural life of Gloucestershire. Tewkesbury resident Roy Smith:
‘There’s a wonderful atmosphere at The Roses – everyone makes you feel very welcome. I love live theatre of any sort – comedy, drama, ballet, opera – and we get the lot here. In fact, I’d say that the opera ‘live from the Met’ is better than being there because you get a better view – close ups of those amazing singers. It’s a magical experience.
Of course there’s a lot more to The Roses than is seen on the stage. There’s marvellous work behind the scenes with the work in schools and community. The Youth Theatre does a terrific job – I know, I’ve seen the shows. Involving little tots to teenagers – wonderful stuff.
Many people don’t realise The Roses is a charity. I believe in putting my money where my heart is. That’s why I’ve donated over the years as well as buying tickets. For me The Roses is the jewel in Tewkesbury’s crown.’
With your support the Roses will continue to thrive and flourish. There are a number of ways you can help:
