Go Live Theatre Projects is a theatre education charity dedicated to making theatre accessible and affordable to families and young people.
Family First Nights is our annual summer programme which offers low-income families the opportunity to see live theatre shows for just £8* per ticket.
The organisation who referred you to this page will need to apply for tickets on your behalf.
Browse the shows below and make a note of the show names, and the dates & times you’d like to see them. You will need to let the organisation know your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices.
If you are really keen to see one show then you can select 3 different performance times / dates as your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices (if there are multiple performances).
Successful families will receive a confirmation email from the Family First Nights team, with details of booking. This will include:
· Confirmation of the show, date and time
· How to pay for tickets
· Show information
· What To Expect and Things To Do In London documents to help make the most of your family day out
Once your tickets have been paid for, a member of the FFN team will give you a ring (usually a week before the performance) to make sure you are happy and ready for your theatre trip. Tickets will be sent to your email address at least 24 hours prior to the performance date.
