Golden Ticket winner announced!

Only lucky customer has received a very special Christmas present from The Playhouse- a season of free theatre!

Winner Paul McClintock got an unexpected Christmas present from The Playhouse this week a free season of theatre in 2013, as well as a night's stay in The Tower hotel!

As preparations for 2013 begin in earnest at The Artillery Street Theatre, and anticipation mounts for the ground-breaking year ahead, the theatre offered free entry to any theatre shows in their Spring 2013 programme. Everyone on The Playhouse mailing list was in with the chance to win the extraordinary prize.

For those who would still like to get involved in 2013 early, however, The Playhouse is now offering the wonderful Christmas gift of theatre all year round with Playhouse Vouchers. So anyone can give their loved one the choice of any of the highly anticipated theatre, comedy and music events taking place at The Playhouse during Spring 2013!

Showcasing the best of the great talent and our beautiful historic city, the January- April 2013 brochure marks the start of an incredible year of theatre, art, music and community engagement, one that will set down a great foundation for a lasting legacy for the city and for N.Ireland.

"The Playhouse is delighted to congratulate Paul on receiving the biggest prize we've ever given away!" Niall Mc Caughan, at The Playhouse said.

"We're thrilled to see the wonderful response we've had to the Golden Ticket, but we don't want anyone to feel left out so we're reminding people that they can give the gift of theatre to their loved ones and get involved in a luminous year of flagship events, festivals and showcases!"
