Public benefits
The direct benefit which flows from this purpose includes promotion of public understanding, accessibility, appreciation and enjoyment of arts, culture and science for the general public. The encouragement of new skills helps develop talent and encourage employment. Benefits are evidenced through feedback from individuals, community groups, key
stakeholders, families, volunteers and feedback from artists & performers. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are people living in Northern Ireland. A private benefit to trustees may arise from our programme of ongoing training in good governance, finance etc. through this training trustees gain skills and experience which are transferable to other settings. These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the beneficiaries.

The company was formed in February 2008 by Philip Crawford, Laura Hughes and Catherine Kelly. Happenstance Theatre Company aspires to bring high quality drama to increasingly informed audiences in a way that entertains and educates. The centrepiece of our company activity is the play. We aim to produce drama of complex simplicity, which is
uncluttered and meticulous. Our approach is a collaboration between art and science enabling creativity through attention to detail. Each element of the production is fine-tuned and brought together in a relationship which illuminates the play as a whole. It is our objective to provide opportunities for further exploration of issues raised in the drama through a variety of methods such as tailor-made workshops, information displayed at venues and in programmes, and where appropriate, guest speakers. In this way, we hope to engage both audiences and artists, and stimulate debate on issues which speak to our times.
