Council steps in to save famed Scottish theatre from collapse

COUNCILLORS have agreed to help out Ayr’s Gaiety Theatre by giving them £150,000 this year – but have said that the council cannot continue to hand over money to keep it afloat.

Ayr Gaiety Partnership (AGP) said it needs £150,000 in each of the next three years and, would continue to require support in future years, in order to remain viable.
