On 16th October 2003 Pride of Place Theatre Festival and the National Rural Touring Forum jointly organised a day for all those who promote and create theatre for rural audiences. The following topics were addressed:

Designing the auditorium - whose responsibility?

Programming - which comes first, the company or the production?

Oiling the wheels of touring - the mechanics

Audience development - when does someone stop being a new
audience?

Challenging audiences - moving beyond the cabaret element

Market towns - have we forgotten them?
