A SCARBOROUGH theatre has been awarded nearly £238,000 by the Garfield Weston Foundation to secure its future. The Weston Culture Fund has granted £237,752 to the Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT), which will use the money to support a summer and autumn season of work, likely to include a new play by director, Alan Ayckbourn. It will also contribute towards equipment and training to allow film recordings of the live shows, and a programme of community-focused screenings of the resulting films aimed at engaging those who might not usually access live theatre. Caroline Routh and Paul Robinson, joint chief executives of SJT, said: “We are absolutely delighted that the SJT and Scarborough have benefitted from the great generosity of the Garfield Weston Foundation, which has done such remarkable work over the past 60 years.
