Ms Murray said the support offered by trusts, foundations and corporations had also been “heartening” and she was now “optimistic” about the theatre’s future.
The Watermill had a “positive” financial last year, but still needs to rise £870,000 this year.
“We have to find a way to be able to continue to provide the work which we do and do the outreach work,” said Ms Murray.
“How we do that is where we’ve got to get creative.”
She said the theatre’s audience had been “so enormously supportive”.
“With that support comes some confidence for us about the future,” she said.
