Purpose

The Council has received a request from the
current operators of the Alexandra Theatre for financial support in
the lead up to and the early years of running the updated theatre.
This report considers the work that has been undertaken to explore
options for the operation of the theatre, soft market testing for
potential alternative operators and the request for support from
Arun Arts (the current operator). The recommendations endorse
providing the requested financial support for a three-year
period.
