Theatre operators can apply for capital grants of up to

This might range from buildings management systems to more efficient water heaters, or a green roof to new windows. To be eligible to apply for the scheme, applicants must demonstrate that they:
• Own or manage theatres with titles or signed leases of more than 5 years on buildings in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland,
• Run a year-round programme of live performance, of no less than 30 performances a year,
• Have a bone fide UK charitable or not-for-profit legal structure and be able to provide certified or audited accounts for at least two years.
• Operate theatres that achieve excellence through their production and programming or architectural significance. The funding is being made available through the Theatres Trust in partnership with the Wolfson Foundation.
