Strengthening Theatre in Towns and Cities

Theatres in towns and smaller cities play a vital civic role, supporting local economies, enriching cultural life, and providing spaces for diverse communities to come together. However, many of these local theatre venues face growing challenges, including disinvestment, rising costs, skills shortages, and inconsistent access to high-quality touring productions. The Local Theatre Touring Alliance (LTTA) brings together venues, producers, policymakers, funders, and sector organisations to advocate for the future of local theatre through collaboration and innovation.
