If you can judge the success of a venture on the quality of those who take notice of it, the The Next Stage has had a very successful year indeed.

Please accept our sincerest thanks for your continued interest and support in the independent theatre and in our little corner of it, we’re thrilled about continuing our relationship with you in the coming year and getting into even deeper discussion about our shared passion.

Merry Christmas everyone, have a wonderful holiday. Here’s to another year of continued growth and envelope pushing.

I’ll leave the last word to our favourite board-trotting pig…
