Theatres Trust 40
On 22 July 2016 we celebrate turning 40 – 40 years of the Theatres Trust Act which made us a consultee in the planning system, and gave us our remit to protect theatres for everyone!
We promote the better protection of theatre buildings to protect the future of live theatre
We promote the quality and design of existing and new theatres
We protect important historic theatres so that they can be used as theatres in the future
We make sure theatre buildings meet the needs and demands of the theatre industry and audiences
We do all this because we believe that the experience of live theatre in people’s lives contributes to our well-being and leads to a fairer, informed, more generous, and understanding society
With your help we can work to protect theatres for another 40 years – donate today www.justgiving.com/theatrestrust
