Our summer season showcases all that’s special about the Stephen Joseph Theatre, with exciting shows to entertain and challenge. Theatrical visionary Stephen Joseph lit this flame many years ago – will you play a part in keeping it alight?

By becoming part of the Inner Circle, you will make a crucial investment in new writing, nurturing promising talent and commissioning work, and you’ll get exclusive access to the season’s biggest events at the SJT.


As an Inner Circle member you can: 

·      Play a vital part in our season of produced work and be involved in an exclusive behind the scenes experience

·      Share the company’s challenges and the creative processes involved in staging new work.

·      See how your support can be so much more than the conventional theatrical ‘angel’


Places are strictly limited due to the intimate level of involvement.



Feedback from previous attendees:

“Everyone was so welcoming and friendly; we felt very much a part of the family.”

“I can’t thank the SJT enough for this; you all went above and beyond to make us all feel so welcomed.”

“We are terrific Ayckbourn fans, and it seems an ingenious way of supporting him, new productions and our favourite theatre.”
