HT Director Lucy Picardois taking part in this year's Theatres Trust Conference at The Lowry in Manchester. The theme for the conference 'Making Theatres Thrive' looks to re-examine how theatres can reinforce their role in placemaking, contributing to vibrant and liveable communities and creating a resilient future for all. Lucy is participating in the Capital Lightning Round - 'Design for Resilience', and is presenting Hexagon studio theatre in Reading which revitalises the brutalist 1977 theatre with the creation of a flexible new hub for arts, performance and community uses. The extension and refurbishment will create a new 300-seat auditorium, a café, bar, rooftop terrace, and rehearsal and workshop rooms.
