name a seat for David Tennant in the new RSC theater in Stratford-upon-Avon

This news is two weeks old, so it might be moot at this point (though I suspect not), but readers of the fan site David Tennant The Site are raising money to endow a seat in his name in the new theater under construction at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s home base in Stratford-upon-Avon. All the details about how to donate and how to make sure your donation goes to the Tennant seat are here.

That’s Tennant photographed recently in the half-finished theater -- he was helping to raise awareness of the ongoing Take a Seat project, which doesn’t just involve him. Seats may be named for anyone -- actors who have already had a seat named after them include David Suchet, John Thaw, Ian Richardson and Dame Peggy Ashcroft -- and the money raised will help the RSC in its ongoing refurbishing. More info on the RSC’s transformation can be found here.
