The Jubilee Theatre has been saved!

On Wednesday 29th October 2008 the Board the Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Trust approved a proposal which, when implemented, will ensure that the Jubilee Theatre continues to be used for community purposes. The arrangement will mean that the Trust will use the theatre as a training venue and lecture theatre during working hours, leaving the theatre available for theatrical activities at all other times.

This is wonderful news and recognises all of the hard work that First Act and our supporters have done in making sure that the importance of the Jubilee Theatre has been spread far and wide.

The petition to save the Jubilee Theatre is therefore officially closed, although you are welcome to view the signatures and comments that people made, which we feel were such an important factor in persuading the Trust to keep the theatre open as a working venue.

Thank you to everyone who signed the petition or supported our campaign.
