It's Curtains for Theatre Without You: How to get involved

The aim is to celebrate both spaces that are able to open as well as those that, for a plethora of reasons such as local restrictions or financial feasibility, remain closed.

Post your quick tweets/ videos on Instagram or Twitter – we want to know:

– What does theatre mean to you?
– What is the future of theatre for you?

And then give a quick shout-out to the Curtains for Theatre Without You page using the hashtag #CurtainsWithoutYou and tag WhatsOnStage.

Want more info on how to get involved? Drop us an email – we'd love to hear from you! curtainswithoutyou@whatsonstage

We'll be posting some examples below as they come in – you can read our interview with Sonia Friedman below as well:

"It really would be curtains for our theatres without your support. We can't wait to share our first ever live streamed performance on 18 December with The Nutcracker at The REP – do join us and help support the very best of Birmingham" – Sean Foley, artistic director of the Birmingham Rep.

People are getting vaccinated RIGHT NOW, this minute! Theatres are slowly but surely REOPENING! There's certainly a light at the end of the tunnel, but without YOU we won't get there.

Theatre is returning. We've been waiting a long time and know you have too. Without our Audience, there is no Theatre industry. Be it live Theatre, watching streams from home, downloading albums…

We need you. We need our Audience. Because it's #CurtainsWithoutYou. pic.twitter.com/6dFKefRn03
