FAQs

We also recommend following us on social media and signing up to our newsletter to stay informed of news and opportunities.

The writing programme is currently still in the planning stages. When the programme is open for applicants it will be announced on our newsletter and social media channels.
Productions & Tickets
How can I buy tickets for a WNT production?
Check the individual production pages on our website where we provide direct links to the venue box offices through which tickets are sold. WNT does not currently manage or process ticket sales for its productions.
What if I have an issue with a ticket I purchased for a WNT production?
WNT does not currently manage or process ticket sales for its productions and so we’re unable to help with ticket sales queries. Please contact your point of purchase directly to resolve any queries.
Invitations & Performances
How can I invite you to see a show?
We’re currently developing the Welsh Net, an ambitious new network of Culture Scouts who will be casting their eyes across Wales. This network will attend youth, amateur, and professional theatre with a view to identifying and developing talent throughout the country.
We want to hear about performances and new work in development across Wales. If you have a play or reading that you would like to invite a WNT representative to, please complete the form on the Welsh Net page. The more notice you can give us, the better - please give at least four weeks’ notice so we can plan attendance. Once our Welsh Net programme is fully running, we’ll share a clear process for inviting our Culture Scouts.

Can I donate to support your work?
As a charity organisation, and currently not receiving public funding, your support will help us continue creating bold, ambitious theatre and reach audiences across Wales and beyond. Our fundrasing and memberships programmes are in development - please sign up to our newsletter to hear about opportunities to support which are launching soon.
