Joseph Millson
Our Patron
I am so honoured and delighted to become the patron of The Little Theatre Guild. For 80 years the LTG has championed and supported both tradition and growth across the country. Amateur theatre is and always will be a beloved and important cornerstone of any community. In a world as fractured as ours is lately, coming together to adventure into drama, comedy and music is vital.
I look forward to seeing and meeting many of you in the time to come. Meanwhile I hope you all have fun!
