What we do

Curve is operated by Leicester Theatre Trust Ltd, a registered charity 230708. As one of the UK’s leading producing theatres, we create and collaborate on a range of new productions every year. Alongside the work on our stages, last year alone we welcomed over 16,000 people to engage with our participation and learning and community programmes: from drama workshops to choir rehearsals and performance poetry classes; from our youngest Little Movers for under 5’s to our Over 55’s participants, our broad range of opportunities to join in at Curve is firmly placing us at the centre of our community. 

Our community production of Oliver! was a huge success. We saw over 500 members of the Leicestershire community audition for around 80 parts. The cast worked with a professional production team and performed to 10,000 people across a two week run.
 
The experience of working with the professional team at Curve has been unique. They have loved every minute of rehearsals and the actual show has been fantastic. I have seen the boys cart-wheeling with exuberance and joy as they have loved every minute. ...it has also been a rewarding emotional experience where they have grown in confidence and self-belief.

Other projects taking places have been our Young Arts Entrepreneurs, Little Curve and Little Movers sessions for under 5’s, the extension of the Curve Young Company drop-in sessions, and an over 55s dance course facilitated by two of our Young Arts Entrepreneurs graduates.
 
Love it all and made some great friend and experiences I’ll always treasure.
