GALA BOOKINGS
Since 1962, the Dolphin Theatre has a proud tradition of producing high quality theatre for a wide variety of audiences.
We are well known and have been very successful in providing “Gala” performances. This has been an opportunity to introduce
new people to live theatre, or welcome back groups who have been regular patrons over many years.
We produce six shows per year, and during each of these shows we make available six evenings as Gala performances. These
are usually Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings over the three week season.
What is a Gala Performance?
- We offer seats at a discounted price of $20 which includes a high quality theatrical experience; ample, convenient free
parking; and a free programme.
- Before the show we offer a complimentary glass of wine or juice plus nibbles.
- At the interval you will be given tea, coffee or juice plus a tasty supper of sandwiches and savouries.
- The minimum attendance for a Gala evening is 90, which can be made up of smaller groups e.g. three groups of 30,
or two groups of 45. The full theatre can be booked, which seats 119. We can also accommodate wheelchairs by removing
seating in the front row to make room for these. The Dolphin Theatre also has a hearing aid loop for those who need it.
How do you book a Gala Evening?
- You make a group booking for a minimum of thirty seats, for which you sell the tickets and collect the money.
- At least ten days prior to the performance, you forward a cheque for the number of seats booked. We will not accept
cancellation of seats after that date.
Think of the opportunity this can give you - as a gift to Clients or Staff, or used as a Fundraiser which is a very popular,
easy and successful way of drawing in funds for your group or organisation.
Give some thought to how you could use this facility to your advantage, be it Social or Financial!
