2. The Maddermarket Theatre Trust Ltd

The Maddermarket Theatre Trust Ltd is a charitable trust formed in 1952 when founder, Nugent Monck, gave the theatre, its properties and the site to the Trust. This was a committee of Players (The Norwich Players), with an agreed constitution who elected a board of trustees to become responsible for managing the theatre. The same system exists today. New Players are elected by existing Players and the Trustees are also elected by the Players. The theatre is managed by a small paid staff and an army of volunteers.

Whenever you interact with the Maddermarket Theatre or The Norwich Players the Maddermarket Theatre Trust Ltd is the data controller.
