Leicester Theatre Trust
The Leicester Theatre Trust (LTT) formed in 1973 as a independent charitable body, it is a regularly funded client of Arts Council England and receives annual revenue funding from Leicester City Council. From 1973 to 2007, the organisation programmed and operated the Haymarket Theatre, which closed at the end of January 2007, with a varied offer, aimed at attracting a broad and diverse audience, reflecting the nature of the city and its surrounds. The LTT offices, previously based in the Haymarket, moved to Rutland Street, next to the new theatre named "Curve", which opened on 11 November 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or trust:
“The theatre is a gross art, built in sweeps and over-emphasis. Compromise is its second name.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
“A noble person confers no such gift as his whole confidence: none so exalts the giver and the receiver; it produces the truest gratitude. Perhaps it is only essential to friendship that some vital trust should have been reposed by the one in the other. I feel addressed and probed even to the remotest parts of my being when one nobly shows, even in trivial things, an implicit faith in me.... A threat or a curse may be forgotten, but this mild trust translates me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
