This is an event you cannot miss.

The Let's Make It Great weekend is part of a campaign to raise £4milion by 2013 that is desperately needed to re-build the back-lot of the NTR, which burnt down in 1972.

The re-build will revolutionise our stage and backstage facilities, allowing the cream of national talent to come here and perform. The project, in collaboration with the University of Portsmouth, also aims to build a 150-seat community theatre space and a cafe on the disused back area of the site, which would be an exciting new space for new and emerging artists to develop and perform.
