The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000 is a nonprofit company headquartered in London, UK with domestic subsidiaries, that operates as an independent not-for-profit theatre. The company says this about itself: The Old Vic is London’s independent not-for-profit theatre, a world leader in creativity and entertainment. The Old Vic is mercurial: it can transform into a theatre in the round, a space for music and comedy, has played host to opera, dance, cinema, music hall, classical dramas, variety, clowns, big spectacles and novelty acts. It was the original home of the English National Opera, the Sadler’s Wells dance company and the National Theatre. It’s also been a tavern, a college, a coffee house, a lecture hall and a meeting place.
