The Perfect Gift for a Theatre Lover
Looking for a present for someone who loves the arts? Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion, our Gift Membership is the perfect solution. It gives access to the most exciting new theatre talent in the industry.
Gift Membership includes an exclusive invitation to our industry event where we announce the winner of the JMK Award, the chance to meet some of our alumni directors through the year and a ticket to the JMK Award winning production during its run.
Gift Memberships cost £50 (valid for one year) and come with a greetings card, which can be sent to you or direct to the recipient.
This is a unique gift, enabling your recipient to go behind the scenes in the discovery of the next generation of exceptional theatre talent. Plus, every penny of your purchase goes on charitably supporting our emerging directors.
Please contact Rowan Riley, General Manager, on rowan@jmktrust.org to purchase this special gift.
