The Tower

It is with great regret that due to insufficient bookings we are cancelling the summer-term tour of this valuable initiative.  We can only apologise to schools who have booked, but we have made this decision now in order to give them time to find alternative provision for their students.

The feedback received from schools is that the vast majority would like to book The Tower, but their budgets will not stretch to funding it themselves.  

This is the first time Brief Candle Theatre has had to ask schools to pay for performances. Since 2006 The Tower has been recommissioned by either the PCT Healthy Schools Team or the LEA and for 5 years was delivered free of charge to schools.  This year austerity measures have severely cut the budgets that support our work.

We have tried to keep our costs and consequently charges to schools to the minimum, but production costs are relatively high for theatre productions compared to workshops. We have been trying to attract partial funding but to no avail.  We are currently looking at devising more affordable initiatives to offer schools.  So watch this space!
