Our Charity

“Donors support us because we are a unique theatre - a home to remarkable artists and plays.”

Jermyn Street Theatre was founded in 1994. A registered charity No. 1186940, with no core funding from government or the Arts Council, it has survived and thrived ever since thanks to a mixture of box office sales and the kind support of individual patrons and trusts and foundations. In 2017, we became the West End’s newest and smallest producing theatre. Around 60% of our income comes from box office sales, and the rest in charitable support.

Staff salaries are supported by The Backstage Trust.

Core costs are supported by Marit Mohn DBE and Robert Westlake.

The Carne Deputy Director position is supported by Philip Carne MBE and Christine Carne.

Do join our Friends to enjoy a range of benefits including priority booking and exclusive behind-the-scenes access.
Donors support Jermyn Street Theatre because they know this is a unique theatre in the heart of the West End: a home to remarkable artists and plays, performed in the most intimate and welcoming of surroundings.
