Royal Theatrical Support Trust
The Royal Theatrical Support Trust (RTST) is a charity committed to supporting theatre companies and up-and-coming theatre practitioners as part of their mission to promote the theatre and theatre-going for the public benefit. It was founded in 1967 and has recently broadened its charity objects to form a new mission to promote knowledge, experience and appreciation of theatre and drama, and thereby play a part in securing the future of British theatre. The charity seeks to achieve its new mission by: supporting new and established theatre companies, including regional and repertory; supporting up-and-coming directors, producers, actors, designers and playwrights; promoting the works of internationally renowned dramatists, including Shakespeare, and encouraging theatre-going.
The Royal Theatrical Support Trust is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission in England and Wales under registration number 254671.
==History==
The Royal Theatrical Support Trust was founded in 1967 as The Royal Shakespeare Theatre Trust by Kenneth Cork, Peter Hall and Geoffrey Cass primarily (but not solely) to fundraise for the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) and many millions of pounds were raised and expended over subsequent years in furtherance of the trust's charitable objects. The objects were focused on "fostering and promoting the public knowledge and appreciation of the plays of Shakespeare and other dramatic works of distinction and new plays and new techniques in the theatre." The subsequent establishment of the RSC's own excellent and comprehensive funding structure over time rendered the concentration of the trust's focus on the RSC less relevant.
As the RSC's own fundraising structure developed, the trust progressively handed over to the RSC the components of its fundraising activities that related to the RSC. The existence of two similar-sounding bodies, both raising funds for the RSC, could have been a source of confusion to donors, particularly during the crucial fundraising for the RSC's redevelopment of its theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon. Therefore, in 2012, the trust changed its name, with the permission of HM The Queen, to The Royal Theatrical Support Trust; and significantly broadened its charitable objects, with the consent of the Charity Commission, in order to give the RTST its current broader focus on supporting the theatre – particularly at the grass-roots level – while preserving as one its objects the fostering and promotion of the works of major internationally renowned dramatists, including Shakespeare.
