Written by playwright Fin Kennedy, the report provides valuable case studies and insight into some of the innovative capital solutions and local engagement strategies being adopted by theatres which are helping them to thrive in these challenging times. 'thriving theatres' was chaired by Vikki Heywood CBE and took place at the new St James Theatre in London on 11 June 2013 in front of a packed auditorium of delegates. The report's author, Fin Kennedy said "The Theatres Trust's Conference 13 took place at a critical time just before the announcement of the 2013 Spending Review. For some 'thriving theatres' was still a question, for others it was a challenge to which they had risen. We also heard from those for whom it was a statement of fact. Encouragingly we heard from theatres reaching out to broker new connections with those around them. Those that were making a genuine, expansive effort to communities up and down the country were clearly thriving.
