Harry Potter Star Supports Our Fundraising Campaign
Building work is well underway on the Lyric’s new state-of-the-art theatre, scheduled to open in spring 2011, but there’s still a final £1million to raise during the construction period to pay for fit-out and equipment.
Lyric actor and Hollywood heavyweight, Ciarán Hinds, who is currently filming the next two Harry Potter movies The Deathly Hallows Parts I and II, has added his support to the Lyric’s fundraising campaign by fronting the ‘Name a Seat’ initiative and dedicating a seat to his parents in the process. And there’s also a seat dedicated to Ciarán, thanks to members of the official Ciarán Hinds fan site who wanted to honour their favourite actor.
Over 100 seats have been named so far, thanks to donations from theatre-goers, schools, amateur drama companies, arts organisations and from some of our best loved actors and playwrights, including Conleth Hill, Ian McElhinney, Marie Jones, Dan Gordon, Olivia Nash and Martin Lynch. So why not follow their lead and name a seat to mark a special anniversary, pay a lasting tribute to a friend or loved one, or simply demonstrate your commitment to the arts? …you never know who your seat could be sitting beside!
