The Regent Theatre’s Red setting book sale has been branded a big success by organisers after it came close to setting a record total for funds raised.
Sale co-ordinator Alison Cunningham said the sale raised a total of $114,892 for the theatre, and the total may even creep into record territory once auction items are taken into account.
The sale ran for 10 days, with ticketed groups of no more than 200 people per session let in to the theatre to rummage among the books for 90 minutes.
There had been a lot of positive feedback from shoppers for the Covid-enforced format, but people should not expect to see the format return.
“If there was a time of year when I could have two weeks of the theatre without running the risk of not being able to put on a show I would do it, but we can’t.”
