Examples of theatre-related facilities
This section gives four examples of performing arts facilities that are linked to theatres or auditoriums. Each example contains brief descriptions and illustrations of the facilities, and explains how the theatre space is used for curriculum programmes.
For more information about the planning and use of these facilities, contact the individual schools. (A link to the TKI schools database containing contact information for that school is provided on each example page.)
