Annex B

DEFINITIONS OF SCALE

  ACE definitions for touring theatre companies:

  Large: companies touring to venues of more than 1,000 seats

  Medium: companies touring to venues of more than 400 seats

  Small: companies touring to venues of less than 400 seats

  Definitions in the Music Theatre field are less clear and can refer to company size, playing strength or specialist repertoire as often as venue size. For example the same company may run different projects working in a small non-theatre venues with a few soloists and musicians and in a medium size theatres with an orchestra and chorus.
