BRINGING THE CURTAIN DOWN
ON CLASS INEQUALITY IN THEATRE

Ardent Theatre Company is a registered charity with a mission to end class inequality in theatre. We:

• produce powerful plays by working-class writers

• offer training that bridges the gap between university and professional theatre

• amplify voices that are too often ignored through blogs, interviews and live events

• equip creatives with the tools they need to thrive through free, accessible online resources

• use our own voice to advocate for class equity

Each year, we need to raise £85K just to keep the charity running. This is on top of raising funds for each individual production and project. As funding via traditional routes - trusts, foundations, Arts Council England - becomes ever more competitive for a shrinking pot of money, we increasingly rely on the goodwill of donors to deliver our work.

Could you afford to give at least £3 a month to help us bring the curtain down on class inequality?

By making a regular donation you are giving us the stability we need to make long-term plans and produce theatre, training and resources that have a real impact on people’s lives. Or maybe you would prefer to make a one-off donation. Every amount, however small, makes a big difference.

Click on the JUST GIVING button below to donate now. Ardent gets 100% of your donation. Just Giving charges us no platform fee, but it does automatically add a tip when making a donation to cover their processing costs. You can change this tip to £0 if you prefer.

If you would rather make a donation via BACS or set up your own Direct Debit, or talk to us about supporting a specific production or project, please EMAIL US.

Thank you for your support.
