Under the Orange Tree is a regular fundraising event for the OT; the generous guests give their time for free, and all the funds raised go directly towards the theatre’s new work and community projects.
As an independent theatre producing all its own work and operating without Arts Council funding, we need to raise at least £500,000 each year through fundraising.
Every ticket sold to this event supports our wide-ranging programme, including our work with 10,000 young people each year.
