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.
Tommy (The Queer Historian) invites you to join them for a family meal as they recreate the Sundays they spent around Aunt Nell’s as Nell shared memories and gossip over a roast dinner. This show explores how LGBTQ+ history is recorded by local gossip and hearsay, is a love letter to memories and asks how can you grieve for someone who isn’t dead?
Made in collaboration with members from the LGBTQ+ charity, Opening Doors, a charity that provides support to those in the LGBTQ+ community over the age of 50.
The show has a running time of 50 minutes and has a 30 minute Q&A after the performance where Tommy invites a guest from the LGBTQ+ community to join them for dinner to decompress and discuss the themes that are raised during the performance.
Supported by Opening Doors, Camden People’s Theatre, ONCA Gallery & ARC Stockton | Written and performed by Tommy, The Queer Historian | Directed by Scott Le Crass | Produced by Beth Sitek | Dramaturg by Deidre McLaughlin
My Dear Aunty Nell is promoted in association with Curious Arts.
