Supporting Local Causes
With our Summer Season just around the corner, we are looking into the future at how we can support our local community going forwards. The serene countryside around Black Brook Theatre is incredibly important to us, and holds a certain magical aspect for everyone that lives here. We want to help keep this area of outstanding natural beauty just that, outstanding.
As such, we are pleased to announce our support for the “Save Our Bridge” campaign, which is dedicated to the restoration of the historic Boxted Bridge, located in the heart of the Dedham Vale.
Why Re Opening The Bridge Matters
This beautiful 1897 steel girder bridge is much loved by the local community. A known beauty spot, it is a natural stop for walkers and cyclists to enjoy the famous views of the River Stour from the parapets. It also serves as a vital crossing between Essex and Suffolk for light traffic going about their daily business or commute to work.
If you are able and would like to support this community-driven local cause, please donate through the link below. Perhaps you could win complimentary tickets to our performances of Twelfth Night or Midsummer Nights Dream?
to a wonderful first season
What a summer it’s been! As our debut season comes to a close, we at Black Brook Theatre want to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make it possible. From the hardworking volunteers who pitched in with construction and planning, starting back in February and driving on through to our opening in June, to the wonderful performers who treaded our boards for the very first time, and of course to all of you who came along to watch and support the shows. I am so incredibly grateful. Once again, thank you, all.
We’re already looking ahead to next year with excitement, my head is buzzing with ideas to improve your experiences and to make things at Black Brook bigger and better! Plans are underway for a show produced by us in the spring, to be hosted at another venue, as, sadly, we have no indoor spaces yet. So keep an eye out for more details coming very soon!
As for next summer, we’re working on some improvements, including new bench seating and better facilities to make your visits even more enjoyable.
Thank you again for being part of the Black Brook Theatre family. With your continued support, our little theatre continues to grow and thrive and I can’t wait to share the next chapter with you.
