This is my story fundraising

Our story

Pests Production are an organisation that collaborates with emerging performers to produce high quality live performance in Dorset and the South West of England. Our work takes place across a range of platforms and within theatrical and non-theatrical spaces. We engage with emerging performers that are both local to Dorset and work outside of the county. Our aim is to put Dorset on the map as a hub of creative and cultural engagement, rivalling other coastal cities such as Brighton or Bristol.

We're fundraising for £1,000 to help launch our new 6 month theatre programme called This Is My Story. This Is My Story is a series of theatre performances made by theatre makers focusing on the theme of identity. Telling unique, challenging, engaging stories in amazing, daring, new ways. We will be helping to show some of the incredible plethora of human identities in this world. This Is My Story will take place as soon as we are able to organise public gatherings again. 

How you can help

Your donation is very important to us and will go towards helping us make the entire project happen, that includes:

Giving emerging artists the opportunity to perform in a town that doesn't often provide these artistic opportunities.

Helping emerging artists reach as large an audience as possible by creating engaging marketing materials and being able to push these in larger scales than we have previously.

Buying vital equipment that helps us programme more technically complex shows, not just for this project but for all our future projects.

Making sure that we can keep our ticket prices at affordable and accessible prices, so that no one feels that they are priced out of going to the theatre.

Where to look
