In line with government guidelines, we have cancelled our current and future plans for the next few months, including our London run of Iolanthe. Our future, like so many others, is now very precarious. Like many smaller companies, we can't apply for government support, and our currently engaged artists and teams are directly effected.
While we are hopeful that we will be able to reschedule Iolanthe at some stage, and that our summer tour will be largely unaffected, the fact remains that almost our entire run of Iolanthe had to be halted, and a number of our tour dates have already cancelled. This has a knock-on effect on the whole season and CCO's ability to keep running and we don't receive a penny from cancelled performances, either in London or on tour.
Furthermore, CCO's artists and production teams are significantly impacted by these cancellations financially. We feel it is our duty to try to compensate them for these losses as much as we can, while attempting to secure our future as a company.
To this end, we would welcome with open arms anything that you can afford to spare, if you are unaffected yourself, and if you’d like to help CCO and those it employs, personally.
If you feel able to offer your support through the options below, we would be extremely grateful.
So far you have given £4670* to our Artist and Teams fund, through donations and visits to our shop, and we're delighted to welcome a number of you as our new Friends.
But we're hoping to raise a further £16,330 if at all possible..
*updated regularly
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our donors and supporters, and extend our deepest gratitude to our fantastic performers, production teams and creatives, of whom we are extremely proud.
With best wishes, love and hope, from all of us at CCO.
