*Location*
Rich Mix is a receiving house because they do not produce their own shows/films/plays etc, but they
show others work to the audience and are occasionally host to travelling theatre companies etc,
for example, the films which they show in their cinemas are not created by them, but they are shown
by the studio, to the audience. They are also a non profiting media/performing arts venue, as they do not
make money out of what they do.
