Alphabetti Theatre's Covid-19 Update, as of September 2021
Alphabetti Theatre are continuing to put the safety of customers, staff and artists at the forefront of our policies.
This means that we require you to wear a mask in the venue (unless exempt), and our social distancing will be in place, with hand sanitiser readily available for all.
For theatre performances, there will be one social distancing space at either side of your ticket booking. Performances in the bar will be standing access with a limited number of tables available, and we continue to encourage social distancing. We will assess the situation on a monthly basis, always with health and safety in mind.
Betti is back, and we want you to return knowing you'll be kept safe and secure.
Alphabetti’s building is currently closed due to Covid-19 and like so many is facing significant uncertainty. We are working hard while the venue is shut and look forward to a future where we can welcome you all safely back to us.
On average, each year Alphabetti has 300 performances providing work for 2,000 artists and welcoming 13,500 audience members. 60% of our programme is part of our Pay What You Feel ticketing scheme and 39% tickets are £10 or under. With our doors closed we're losing vital income, if you could help with a donation whatever the size, we'd greatly appreciate it.
Despite the pandemic, we remain committed to our communities, audiences and artists. We launched 9 new writing micro-commissions – LISTEN UP - to increase under-represented voices in North East theatre. As well as ‘BETTi RECOMMENDS’, a weekly curated selection of free bitesize online cultural content, and free monthly online shows/performances exclusive to Alphabetti.
All our online work is free but if you can we ask that you donate to support the work we do.
