Dynamic Pricing
ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.
ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!
We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.
Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.
All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.
Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.

One summer to shape a lifetime.
Zia turned 17 last week. When they arrive at Camp Phoenix for a compulsory weeklong residential, they aren’t sure if it’s for them. The camp helps young people emerge from the dust of their younger selves, just like a phoenix. Through regulated activities, young people develop the skills to rise into the next phase of their lives to become great citizens and employees.
But not everything goes to plan. When Zia and their newfound friends realise that the camp’s values don’t include everyone, they discover that the most valuable lessons are those learnt from the people around them.
What advice do teenagers wish they’d had when they were still kids? Camp Phoenix has been developed through conversations with 600 young people nationwide to find out. 9-year-olds shared their worries, and those aged 16+ responded with expert wisdom. Camp Phoenix shares that wisdom with honesty, hope, and humour.
Camp Phoenix is a show packed with adventure, new music, and vital life lessons, featuring a dynamic cast of professional performers and local young people (at ARC, the professional actors will share the stage with some incredible young people from Stockton Riverside College).

About Zest
Zest exists to make space for young people to be heard, using creativity to amplify their voices through theatre and cultural experiences.
Established in 2007, Zest makes a range of work for theatres, festivals, public spaces, schools, and digital platforms. Zest’s award winning work has been described as ‘unpretentious’ (The Stage) and ‘invigorating’ (The British Theatre Guide). Their productions and installations actively place the audience right at the heart of the story.
Zest are passionate about amplifying the voices of young people, creating productions, digital pieces, and public art installations inspired by the needs, lives and imaginations of those aged under 25. Their work releases the voice of a generation to make the world a better, and more creative, place.
Zest have eclectic tastes and love creating bold new ideas – this means that there is no such thing as a ‘Zest Style’; each of their projects are very different. However, innovation, joy, empowerment, and accessibility are integral to everything we produce, creating a DNA that is unmistakably Zest’s.
Zest Theatre is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. They are proudly based in Lincoln and work closely with local partners to support the development of Lincolnshire’s arts and culture sector.
