Booking Fee
Please note, due to increasing bank charges we now need to charge a card processing fee of £1 on all transactions using debit and credit cards. If you would like to pay by cash at the theatre this will not apply.
Restoration Fund
For each ticket sold we invite you to contribute to the restoration fund. An optional contribution of £1 will be added to each ticket sold for our main-house shows and 50p to each cinema ticket. Please let the Box Office know if you would prefer not to pay this. The money raised will go directly to our building maintenance and restoration fund so we can continue to refurbish the theatre and make it the pride of Leatherhead. Our first project will be to refurbish the seating in the auditorium. If you would like to Gift Aid your contribution please sign a Gift Aid slip when collecting your tickets.

THE FESTIVAL ADJUDICATOR FOR 2012
Jan Palmer Sayer (GoDA)
Member of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators
The adjudications each evening provide a critical appraisal of each play, when advice and encouragement are given. Groups find that they can learn a great deal from this experience and, audiences too, learn much about the craft of acting and producing a play, even if they do not always agree with the adjudicator’s verdict!
Come and judge for yourselves!
