Next meeting and webinar dates
ETC's Sustainable Action Code for Theatres foresees for the network and its members to become climate-neutral by 2030. How do we get there?
The newly created ETC Theatre Green Book (ETC TGB) is a tool to encourage each of our members to no longer wait and take necessary steps to transform theatre making, operating and addressing the maintenance of the buildings.
Join the ETC TGB trial group and the TGB experts Paddy Dillon and Lisa Burger in the upcoming webinars.

We strongly recommend joining all three webinars. Theatres who commit to all three webinars will be invited to join the 'ETC Sustainable Theatres Group', the group of theatres at the forefront of integrating the ETC Theatre Green Book in their work.
