Every theatre needs to get behind this campaign: ‘theatre for every child’. If literacy, oracy and empathy become educational priorities, then theatre, drama and performance will be ideally placed to support the recovery of the generation most affected by Covid and the narrowing of the curriculum. Regional mid-scale presenting venues should not leave the campaigning to the subsidised producing venues with learning teams. Some of the most innovative, creative and successful mid-scale touring work is created for young people. Help electoral candidates to better understand the value of venues that can host quality touring productions (that often come with opportunities for participation) by sharing this campaign with them.
Directors of Education and Learning from some of the country’s most high-profile theatres are calling on all political parties to commit to 'Theatre for Every Child'. Claire Walker of Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre shares highlights of the campaign.
