We have renewed our long-standing partnership with Leeds Playhouse as we continue to support one of the region’s most important independent cultural institutions.
The award-winning theatre has been at the heart of the city since opening its doors in 1970 and the renewal sees Gateley reinforce its commitment to the Yorkshire creative scene whilst supporting the local community through the Playhouse’s extensive outreach programme, which reaches thousands of people across Leeds and West Yorkshire every year.
As part of the renewal, Gateley will continue to support these initiatives, which include creative learning projects, work with young people, older communities, and those facing barriers to accessing the arts.
As an independent theatre, the Playhouse relies on the support of its valued partners, grants and bursaries, and donations to enable it to deliver its artistic programme of world-class, pioneering work.
Roger McCourt, commercial dispute resolution partner and Leeds office head, said: “Leeds Playhouse is one of the leading theatres in the country and has been championing inspiring storytelling for decades. It is undoubtedly a jewel in the Yorkshire crown and we are honoured to be renewing our partnership with them.
“As well as being the creative hub for the city and beyond, the work they do in the community to make the arts more accessible is incredibly admirable and ties in perfectly with Gateley’s responsible business ambitions. We look forward to seeing some fantastic productions this year and supporting their artists and communities.”
