Cork's Everyman Theatre generated a surplus of over €60,000 in 2021 and increased turnover by 30% despite the building being closed for nine months of the year and being forced to work with reduced capacities for the short winter period when the building reopened. 

The arts and entertainment sector has been severely impacted by Covid[/url[ restrictions due to the pandemic. The Everyman's surplus is notable for a theatre that had to raise over 92% of its own funds through tickets sales, donations, strategic partnerships and fundraising activities.
