Dear Two Boroughs Friends and Family Hope this finds you well and happy and enjoying your summer! The Young Vic has been buzzing during August as 70 local residents have been busy rehearsing with a professional cast for The Human Comedy – a vibrant Broadway musical. Our community show will be on stage for one week only from September 13th. (Due to the large number of community members in the cast I do not have free tickets available for this show)

	Dear Two Boroughs Friends and Family Hope this finds you well and happy and enjoying your summer! The Young Vic has been buzzing during August as 70 local residents have been busy rehearsing with a professional cast for The Human Comedy – a vibrant Broadway musical. Our community show will be on stage for one week only from September 13th. (Due to the large number of community members in the cast I do not have free tickets availble for this show) Reserved seating arrives at the Young Vic For those who have already visited us at Young Vic, you will know we have not had reserved seating. This is about to change. From the end of September, the Young Vic will introduce seat reservations and price banding! The good news is that Two Borough project community tickets are chosen from the top two price bands! This means you will sit in the best seats... for FREE!!!! It also means you will have to let me know about ANY access requirements you or your group may have when booking your tickets with me, this is so I can allocate seats that you can access. Exciting things coming up... There is so much going on here and we hope there is something for everyone. Please have a look at the shows I have free tickets for, and also projects, workshops and events you and your friends can get involved in. Everything is free and everyone is welcome.
