Soon after, the venue became gained widespread recognition for its new company which had members such as Ian McKellen, Trevor Nunn, Joan Plowright and Michael Crawford.During the 1960s, the Belgrade started its own Theatre-in-Education movement, which worked with disadvantaged young people and used drama as a tool to help them deal with their personal issues. This was later named the ‘Acting Out’ course and still runs to this day.Belgrade Theatre is Coventry’s main hub for live entertainment and produces a varied programme of stand-up comedy, film, theatre and music.
