What does a theatre consultant do and why might you need one? Here we set out our thoughts on the subject.

Great piece on on BBC News Breakfast showcasing the benefits of local theatre. Amazing work Joshua McTaggart from the Theatres Trust. Nina picked up the difficulties in finding local productions that Stagely Ltd looks to solve!   We've experienced the issues discovering local theatre that's why we founded Stagely Ltd - an app to help people discover theatre - helping people find theatre where it is more accessible both financially and geographically to create new young and diverse audiences and crew for theatres across the UK.

For those with a love of performance spaces or an interest in the technical mastery that goes into building and maintaining theatres, the role of a theatre consultant might appear as captivating as it is mysterious. But what exactly does a theatre consultant do, and why are they indispensable to the creative process behind some of the world’s most stunning performance venues?

It’s a simple way to pay it forward, helping to cover the cost for someone who might not otherwise be able to attend. Your generosity makes theatre accessible for all. Shakespeare North Playhouse is more than a stage. It’s a home for stories, a place to belong, and a celebration of shared experiences. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, we hope you leave with memories to cherish and a connection to something bigger. #AccessibleTheatre #PayWhatYouDecide #PayItForward #CommunityImpact #LivePerformance

This is a sad day for Black British Theatre. Eclipse Theatre has shut down. Black British Theatre has been feeling the heat in recent years, especially after the pandemic. Covid was a real disaster for the theatre world. Creatives are also feeling it because to survive is getting harder. When the foundation shuts down like this, it affects more than the people who work at this particular theatre company. It affects the ecosystem. Theatre as a whole has been going through a rough time since the pandemic ended. You may have noticed ticket prices have gone up a bit. Maybe you noticed the theatre was cold during a show like a friend pointed out to me. I like the cold, so it doesn't bother me. However, she was freezing. Her theory, it could be they are turning down the heating to save cost. That was a new one for me. It never crossed my mind. Things have been tight. The Stage digital platform has had a number of stories about this. There was hope the budget would soften the blow. If the big boys and girls of theatre are struggling, imagine what the small league members are dealing with. Multiply that by 10 for Black British theatre companies and practitioners. One of the issues at the core of this struggle for the theatre space is FUNDING! Same with other creative sectors. I can't help but think about Talawa Theatre and Tiata Fahodzi at this time, and other pioneering Black British Theatre Companies? While we await the full context - https://lnkd.in/eMTBdnzk - for the shutdown of Eclipse, we hope for the survival of the ones we have left. #Theatre #BlackBritish #BlackBritishTheatre #BlackStories #BlackNarratives

Participation Theatre If you aren’t co-creating, you might be taking part in participation theatre. If more is going on backstage than in front of the curtain – the scope, budget, and key decisions of a project are a done deal – it’s participation theatre. One is a polished performance, and the other is messy in the middle. It might be time to put down the camera, pull back the curtain, and ignore the viewing figures. https://lnkd.in/dcsGiN8E
