YOUR HELP FOR OUR FUTURE...
SUPPORTING US:
We are nothing without our audience. The very fact that familiar faces return to each production and new audience members are attending each show is a constant encouragement to us and we thank you for coming out to see our shows. Planet Rabbit are not currently in receipt of any Arts Council grants or Lottery funding and our income is made up through box office sales, sponsorship and donations from individuals and companies. Any form of funding, no matter how small, is appreciated in order for the company to continue producing plays. Any funding we receive covers our core running costs for new projects & tours and will help to realise our future plans. Plus, it's not just financial support that helps...please read on

THEATRE ON A SHOE STRING:
As with all theatre companies, of all sizes, we beg & borrow all we can to get each production on the road. Calling in favours to produce a show is common practice. What we do spend is necessary to deliver high standard productions with a first class, professional team.

PROGRAMME ADVERTISING
We currently offer every member of the audience a show programme free of charge. We understand the reluctance to spend more than necessary on a night out in today's struggling financial climate. We are very passionate about getting the information in our programmes to every audience member and we are happy to offer this complimentary service. To enable us to continue to achieve this we are offering advertising space in our programme at very competitive prices. By advertising in our programmes you are not only supporting touring theatre, you are sending your business message out to every member of our audience. We usually tour between 6-10 venues/towns per production. We offer 4 sizes of advert from as little as £35.00. Please contact us at info@planetrabbit.co.uk or at 07986 122300 for details.
