The kindness and generosity of our FONS (Friends of Next Stage) has always been invaluable, but especially over the last few years as the future of live theatre hung in the balance. Our Friends have been instrumental in the maintenance and running of Next Stage and The Mission, including our Raise the Roof! appeal which could not have been done without them.

Next Stage actors are currently preparing scenes and excerpts from forthcoming shows to display at our Autumn FONS social. These invitation-only socials, hosted by our Artistic Director Ann Ellison BEM are just one of the privileges you get as a Friend of Next Stage.

Also included in the Friend of Next Stage membership, is priority booking throughout the year for all Next Stage and Next Stage Youth Productions and a reserved seat included in the booking. Friends of Next Stage are also entitled to a free programme for any Next Stage or Next Stage Youth productions.
