Pay What You Decide Info
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.
Seating: Unreserved seated
Each month, Rough Cut Revolutions gives Tees Valley artists the stage to share their newest, boldest, and most daring work, straight from the rehearsal room to a live, supportive audience. Be the first to experience brand-new performances and creative experiments from some of the region’s most exciting talent.
This month’s night is brought to you by our friends at Resound Theatre. The Sleep of Reason is a labyrinthine exploration of dreams, memory and childhood, blending theatre, dance, overlapped storylines and the crashing of realities.
We have undergone two weeks of research and development and have begun to explore our connection to the part of ourselves which gets locked away and forgotten as we age and conform. The extracts shown are still in early development and are expected to change and progress. The performance will be followed by an open discussion about the central themes of the show. We are interested in gathering the thoughts and opinions of the audience to further aid our research.
