Creative Arts East - Arts Events | Rural touring theatre

How does it Work?

We will come and meet you and your committee to see the venue and discuss how the scheme works.

Each Spring and Autumn we produce a menu of subsidised performances for promoters to choose from. We also offer a guarantee against loss scheme as an additional safety net for promoters.

We host 2 Promoter Network Days each year which will give you the chance to find out more about the shows on offer and to meet up with fellow promoters.

We make all the contractual arrangements for promoters and companies and pay the company after the performance.

Promoters receive leaflets, posters and press information to help sell the shows. We produce 2 brochures each year that is distributed county wide. We are always available by phone or e mail for support and advice.
