About the 'A Night Less Ordinary' incentive

A Night Less Ordinary is an Arts Council England initiative, supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, to get more young people into theatres across the country.

A spokesperson for Arts Council England said: “Arts Council England wants more young people to experience great theatre up close. To do that, we have to remove the barriers, like cost, that stop young people attending.

It’s an inspiration that can last a lifetime.”
