For small theatres and arts centres
Front of house ready for Martyn's Law.
A full house in a studio theatre or arts centre can easily pass 200. Smallprint drafts your procedures, signs off front-of-house teams and volunteers on their phones and keeps the records.
From £1.33 a week. Free until 1 March 2027. 25% off for charities, CICs and parish councils.
Why it can feel hard for small theatres and arts centres
- Front of house is often volunteers who work a few shows a month.
- Visiting companies and hirers do not know your building.
- An audience in the dark needs clear, calm instructions from the stage or the PA.
How Smallprint helps
How to stop a performance, bring up the house lights and move the audience, in your own words.

Dated sign-offs, drills and reviews in one evidence pack.
Questions we hear from small theatres and arts centres
Our main house holds more than 800. Does Smallprint cover us?
No. At 800 or more you are likely to be in the enhanced tier, which needs more than Smallprint provides. It is built for venues in the standard tier, from 200 to 799.
Is there a discount for arts charities?
Yes. Registered charities and CICs get 25% off any plan.
Can we use our existing show-stop procedure?
Yes. Smallprint drafts a starting point that you read and adapt before you adopt it.
