Jersey Arts Centre welcomes new Patron

Jersey Arts Centre Christmas show, December 2022: Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

Jersey Arts Centre is delighted to announce that its Honorary Patron for the next five years (2023-2028) is acclaimed performer and playwright Tim Crouch.

Tim performed his award-winning solo show Truth’s A Dog Must to Kennel at Jersey Arts Centre’s Festival 40 anniversary celebrations in January, and returned in May to perform another of his lauded pieces, I, Malvolio.

“The honour of being Jersey Arts Centre’s new Honorary Patron is all mine,” says Tim. “From many years of international touring, there are few arts venues I know that combine a progressive and genuinely inclusive programme of live performance with such a cherished place in their community. Jersey is lucky to have an arts organisation that punches so brilliantly above its weight. I’m delighted to be able to deepen my relationship with it and to offer what support I can to further its success.”
