A special allocation of tickets priced at £8.50 for 18- to 25-year-olds is now on sale for The Pajama Game, the first production of Chichester Festival Theatre's Festival 2013, marking the start of a new initiative by the Theatre to encourage independent theatregoing by younger members of its audience.
£8.50 tickets will be on sale for all performances of all productions in both the Theatre in the Park and the Minerva Theatre during Festival 2013, released one month before the first preview of each production.
Since their appointmnt in 2006, Jonathan Church and Alan Finch have explored various ways of developing the younger audience. During Festival 2012, the Theatre attracted a significant proportion of young people to its pop-up auditorium, Theatre on the Fly, which staged three critically-acclaimed productions: Blue Remembered Hills, Playhouse Creatures and Fred’s Diner.
Chichester Festival Theatre was also one of the most successful participants in the Art Council's A Night Less Ordinary scheme to give away tickets to young people in 2009-10.
