Play to the Crowd is celebrating the first anniversary of its strategic partnership with law firm Trethowans by running a ticket competition.

The arts and education charity, which runs Theatre Royal Winchester, Hat Fair and Playmakers, says the contest marks a milestone year of collaboration and support that has significantly contributed to the vibrant cultural life of Winchester.

The competition winner will receive four tickets to a show of their choice at Theatre Royal Winchester.

Upcoming performances include The Tiger Who Came to Tea, Macbeth and An Evening with Jacqui Dankworth.

Over the past year, Trethowans has played a pivotal role in supporting Play to the Crowd’s mission to delight and unite the community through live performance.

Deryck Newland, Chief Executive of Play to the Crowd, said: “The impact of live performance in fostering joyous and thriving communities cannot be overstated.

“Thanks to Trethowans’ generous backing, we continue to bring live performance to Winchester, notably at the captivating Theatre Royal Winchester.”

Kirstie Mathieson, Communications and Development Director of Play to the Crowd, said: “The role of local businesses in sustaining the arts is vital.

“We extend our gratitude to the entire team at Trethowans for their support, enthusiasm and dedication throughout the past year.”

Laura Bell, Partner and Head of Trethowans’ Winchester office, said: “Being part of Play to the Crowd’s journey over the last year has been truly rewarding.

“Theatre Royal Winchester stands as a beacon of community spirit and cultural enrichment, and our partnership with Play to the Crowd has deepened our commitment to fostering a vibrant arts scene.

“Trethowans takes immense pride in supporting both the theatre and the charity’s invaluable efforts.”

Theatre Royal Winchester continues to present a diverse program each year, showcasing over 320 performances to more than 74,000 people.
