SI U M C E OPERA MA C LUBS Finally I can also announce that, although we will be open all next year, our main house will be getting a facelift from February to August. With £2.2 million raised, I’m confident our many supporters will help us raise the last £200,000 so we can complete every aspect of this stage of the restoration. Please help us if you can. WTIM DRA But we are more than simply a theatre. So you’ll find information in this brochure of some of the wide range of other activities we have been involved in this year so far – and there are more exciting developments in the pipeline. I am particularly proud of the partnerships we are building within Ayrshire, but also with other theatres and national organisations.

We are now only £200,000 from this amount – but we need to raise the balance by early next year. Can you help? We need donations of all sizes. For example l For £50 you can reduce our bills with a new energy efficient houselight. l For £250 you could enable up to 250 people a year to sit in a comfortable and robust seat. l For £1,000 you could ensure over 500 stars each year are lit properly with a new follow spot. l For £10,000 you could make sure around 20,000 audience members a year can use a great looking staircase to the circle.

Restoring the Gaiety We are confident we’ll raise the full amount we need to go ahead with major investment in the main house from 7th February 2016. The Studio Theatre and the Stage Door restaurant will remain open throughout 2016. Meanwhile next door, a transformation will be underway leading to a reopening in Autumn 2016.

A carefully designed and installed new ventilation system, and a major upgrade to the existing heating system will bring the auditorium up to modern standards. Other changes will be more obvious – an open and more spacious foyer will lead into a completely restored auditorium. New and refurbished seating will increase comfort for all, and improved wheelchair locations will cater for less mobile members of our audience. A new stage, full rewiring and new sound and lighting equipment will make subtle but important improvements to the quality of our shows. Importantly, many of the improvements will make the operation of the theatre easier and more comfortable for our dedicated volunteers. Overall the end result will be the same theatre, but a much better experience. By combining the best of old and new we’ll have a fully modernized theatre with in an auditorium restored to look as it was meant to be. We’ll be providing updates by social media and on our webpage so you can join us in this exciting journey.
