Exciting news for the team this week! We’ve officially received planning permission for the Telford Theatre project in Oakengates. This ambitious project will bring state-of-the-art theatre facilities and elevate the visitor experience, with construction set to begin in the new year. Sustainability at its heart: The new facility is designed to reduce the theatre’s carbon footprint by an incredible 90%! Supporting the community: It will create new jobs and expand volunteering opportunities, boosting the local economy. We can’t wait to see this vision come to life and become a cornerstone of creativity, culture, and community for Telford. Stay tuned for further updates! #TelfordTheatre #SustainableFuture #CommunityGrowth

🎭 Theatre Companies, Get Involved in Your Community! 🌟 Your audience’s experience doesn’t have to end when the curtain falls. Show them where to grab a drink, enjoy a dinner, find a sweet treat, or shop after a matinee. Why not partner with local businesses to offer deals for those who bring in their ticket stubs? Not only does this enhance your audience's experience, but it also strengthens your ties with the community and gets more people talking about your shows. It’s a win-win! Ready to make your theatre a community hub? Let’s do this! 🎟️✨ #TheatreCommunity #LocalLove #AudienceEngagement #ACESocial #Theatre #TheatreinChicago #ChicagoTheatre #SocialMedia #SocialMediaTips

How do you make theatre accessible to adult neurodivergent audiences? Auckland Theatre Company is at the beginning of its relaxed performance journey and its Head of Strategy, Natasha Pearce, says that asking is the only way to create a programme that meets the needs of the community. “Our hope is that our programme will continue to improve and audiences will grow. "As one of the first arts companies to develop relaxed performances for adult and late-teen audiences, we know we will get it wrong sometimes. But we hope we get it right more often and that we learn from our mistakes. “We also hope that other organisations see that if we can offer theatre of scale and ambition and include relaxed performances in our season, then they can too.” Thanks for your great mahi, ATC.

🌟 One question I get a lot is: how do you choose your shows? 🌟 As with most projects, there's no one single way a theatre production is born. But for me, everything starts with the text. If the text excites me in some way, it goes onto my Dream List. It might not happen immediately, but it’s there, waiting for the right moment. But a great text alone isn't enough. We need the Golden Triangle: a stellar script, a director whose vision aligns perfectly with the piece, and a suitable venue. Without these three elements, a production simply can't happen. And, of course, there's always the financial puzzle - a fantastic play with a large cast might have to wait due to budget constraints. Smaller works with fewer actors are often less risky and easier to produce. So, I’m curious - what piece of drama would YOU like to see produced? Drop your suggestions below. Who knows, one day I might come knocking at your door, asking you to join us in bringing it to life. 😉 #Theatre #Brussels #Drama #Community #TheBridgeTheatre

Theatre companies, don’t forget to make time with your actors and creative team for social media! 🎭 Audiences love a peek behind the scenes, getting to know the people who bring the magic to life—and seeing them having fun while doing it. At a theatre I worked with, we had a blast asking the cast of Beauty and the Beast if they knew all the lyrics to Be Our Guest. It was a great way to break the ice and introduce our audience to the wonderful people behind the production. Moments like these bring personality and connection to your theatre’s brand. So grab your creative team, ask some fun questions, and show the world the joy behind the curtain! 🎬✨ #BehindTheScenes #AudienceEngagement #ACESocial #theatre #theatreinchicago #chicagotheatre #socialmedia #socialmediatips #theatremarketing

🎭 Flexibility and quick changeover in theatre? No problem! Different occasions require different demands for seat layout. Look at how this clever system helps the venue be flexible. As in manufacturing, we should design our production lines with the same philosophy - flexible to customer demand with the possibility of quick change. #Flexibility #Theatre #SMED #Seat #Changeover

Developed by Jacob L Moreno in the early 20th. century, theatre involves participants in social contexts where they think, talk, create, share, and arrive at decisions. Integrating #theatre 🎭, we've had the opportunity to talk with Kotak Life on - VUCA-ready (https://lnkd.in/d2Ry_WK9 - 1 min.) - managing priorities (https://lnkd.in/dkpdDWps - <3 min.) to some excellent client feedback 😁.

Major lessons must be learned to safeguard the future of UK arts. Earlier this year, Freelancers Make Theatre Work partnered on this international study highlighting the need for a strategy in the face of future climate change, political change, economic pressure + other health crises.
