Dan Hutton on a civic theatre

Quote of the day: “Towards a Civic Theatre is, as its name denotes, an attempt at moving towards different ways of thinking for theatre and its related activities. It is intended as the beginning of a conversation about how theatre and theatre buildings can fill the spaces which have been left by a decade of austerity, the defragmentation of the public sphere, and the ravages of Covid-19. It is an argument about how theatre must embrace the civic in order to survive.” (Dan Hutton, Towards a Civic Theatre)
