Resources for Hosting First Encounters

We have put together a pack for Associate Regional Theatre partners hosting First Encounters: King Lear, which is designed to support with marketing planning. Additionally, we have collated feedback from Associate Schools and Theatre Partners who have hosted First Encounters in previous years. This impact report can be used as an advocacy tool.
