If you can support Stiltskin Creative Arts & Theatre Co. Then that would be great. Always a big shame when a big top gets storm damaged but when it wipes out the main earner for the year that is a disaster. Still aching from stacking pallets and rolling up the tilts.
**Crowdfunder Update**
Since our devastating news regarding the destruction of our beautiful Big Top 🎪 during storm Darragh🌪 we have had a number of requests to launch a Crowdfunding page so that our lovely community can donate and support Stiltskin at the Soapbox.
For those who are wondering why we did not remove the Big Top before the storm...There simply was not enough time to take it down. To do so, we would have had to remove all of the infrastructure that took two weeks to build, then the Big Top would have taken over two days to take down. It held for most of the day until a rip appeared, which grew and took off the roof. The structure remained stable. Sometimes, things are not as simple as they may seem...
For those who wish to support us, then it is greatly appreciated... maybe we will get to replace our Big Top, or at least rebuild after the loss of at least £30,000 this festive season. Any donations will be transformed into a bit of Stiltskin magic at the Soapbox Childrens Theatre.
