Brick Door Theatre Company Ltd. are a NEW collaborative company presenting theatre that is filled with Digital Arts, Physical Theatre and emotionally charged messages. We aim to work closely with local musicians and digital arts professionals to bring theatre with heart; Theatre that touches upon issues of the past, present and future. We would like to take our performances around schools, colleges, universities and further afield. We want to entertain and educate and to reassure young artists that following your dream can be done with motivation, hard work and dedication even when the going gets tough. We want to provide workshops for all ages - not just students; we want to tour to all corners of the world and demonstrate that theatre does not have to come with a high ticket price and can be accessible to all.

And this is where your generosity comes in! We need your help to make all this possible; As we are a company starting fresh from no funding (our own savings are currently lacking but are trying to bloom)... We need a little cash to start buying equipment for our digital arts filled shows! Your contributions are extremely important to us as it is you we want to see our shows. We want to be able to have the equipment to provide the best experience we can, but we also want your opinions, thoughts and ideas (not just your hard earned cash) so please feel free to contact us about anything! If we are able to reach our goal then our first performance, as a company, can begin its tour; we have the ideas and we are working hard to create a great, creative performance. It would help us reassure young artists that the future can be an exciting opportunity if they reach for it like we have! We will not be able to do this without your help; together we can create accessible theatre for all.


We are not looking for a top of the range projector (that will come in time) but a projector that will do the job would be delightful; so £250 towards this.

Another important factor of theatre is lighting and sound equipment; we are looking for another £250 towards this equipment. Just to assure you, we are looking at BASIC equipment; two floor parcans, adapters and a simple sound system that can boost our live local musicians.


If you are so kind as to donate some money then we want to reward you with some perks! Just email us with any preference or questions you may have towards the perks.

  • £2 - will get you a big thank you via letter, email, Facebook or Twitter.
  • £5 - will get you a big thank you AND a victory dance video via email, Facebook or Twitter
  • £10 - will get  you (the £5 perk) and your name/company on our website (listed as a contributor)
  • £20 - will provide you with (the £10 perk) AND two of the best seats in the house at our first (work in progress) performance (free event in Cheltenham August 2013)
  • £50 will provide you with (the £20 perk) AND a DVD copy of our performance SIGNED by the cast, musicians, composers and all.
  • £100 will provide you with (the £50 perk) AND two FREE tickets, our best seats, to our tour; any day during tour January 2014 onwards.(Tickets usually charged.)

    (The perks offering tickets will come at a first come first served basis, we will offer the next best available seats.  Donators receiving a copy of our show on DVD, it will become available Autumn 2013)

    If you would still like to donate non electronically then you can contact us directly; the above perks are still available to you! Any fund accepted will go towards our equipment regardless, it just means our company has a chance to start and grow.

    We ask for a few details with the perks so that we can thank you and gift you too. Any details will only be used for the perks and details will not be passed on to anybody else. We hope you can trust us. Thank you for being understanding.



    Theatre is an important tool in this world; it entertains, educates, stimulates, informs, awakens, provides and inspires. Workshops can help build confidence, switch on creativity (you all have it!), it can help to meet people, help the body physically and mentally, it is a great form of exercise, a tool of voice/speech control and it's great fun!

    Although this is our first performance we are graduates with degrees in Drama and Performance BA Hons (One of us is just completing a MA in Contemporary Performance). We are passionate and positive, have completed and performed many creative forms of theatre that have been received highly from audiences and lecturers. We have all taken on responsibilities in theatre from; directing, choreography, marketing and technical and have enjoyed every moment.

    Life is a constant lesson; we are always learning, always trying and always smiling. Without your support - not just financially - we have no audience so please help us to provide for you and to provide for others.


If like us your funds are low and can’t contribute cash... there are other ways you can contribute! By simply talking to friends and family about us, our ideas, our future shows and spreading the word.

If you are a part of the social media world share us on Facebook, Twitter, your blogs, ANYWHERE you can online! Even email everyone in your address book. All pennies help to get new fresh theatre out there!
