A Harrogate theatre has launched an emergency appeal and invited people to sponsor its seats.
With coronavirus forcing Harrogate Theatre to cancel its shows for the foreseeable future, the 120-year-old venue now faces "a very uncertain future."
The theatre has asked people to make a donation, buy tickets for the autumn and winter shows, join its membership scheme and now to sponsor a seat.
It costs £600 to sponsor a seat or £1000 a pair for a five-year term.
That money gets an engraved gold plate featuring the sponsor's name, with a certificate and invitation to a thank you event a the theatre.
