The Plowright Theatre is offering a limited number of free tickets for performing arts productions from Tuesday 7 April 2009 to anyone under the age of 26. We hope this will encourage young people to come to the theatre who haven't been before or who are not able to come as often as they would like to.
There are no restrictions on the day of the week to attend, but there may be restrictions on certain productions - ask at the Box Office for details of available productions. Early booking is recommended.
