Leith Theatre Trust has been formed to facilitate the refurbishment
of Leith Theatre, its reopening and ongoing management. Our aim
is to return the building to a use which will add value to the Leith
Community. We are keen to collate support from residents of Leith
and people with a business, social enterprise or Arts background.
By collating such data we will know that we work on behalf of a
broadband of interest from the community. Collectively we can pool
skills and ideas to build a strong case for using the Theatre to
the benefit of the local area.
