On
31 July 08 developers, Stanhope/Schroders were given the go-ahead for their
Ruskin Square proposal... Ruskin
Square is a park-based development on the land on which our current theatre
stands that stretches between Dingwall Road/George Street and the railway line
north to Lansdowne Road. At the centre of the scheme will be our custom-designed
200 seat theatre paid for in full by Stanhope/Schroders at a cost approaching
£5m. Its design will be unique and a real attraction for Croydon, South
London, the UK & Internationally. Timescale The
present credit crunch has delayed the start but a press release on 26 June 09 expressed
the hope for a start soon - in addition Stanhope have said: "Our commitment
to the WT remains and we are looking at putting the theatre in the building
fronting the new arrival space from the station". We will remain in our
present building until the new theatre is built - your continued support is
critical to our future… Your Help We
thank everyone who has been involved in getting us to this stage. The extended
delay to the development has put great strain on us financially and any help
would be gratefully received - if there's something specific you would like to
sponsor, please call on 020 8681 1257 or email: ted@warehousetheatre.co.uk to
