Why not join our vibrant community!
Becoming a member of the LTG means joining a family of like-minded theatre enthusiasts who believe in the power of creativity, collaboration, and community. Our Guild is more than just a network—it’s a supportive hub where you can share ideas, tackle challenges, and celebrate successes together. Whether your theatre seats 48 or 450, whether it’s housed in a historic 13th-century church or a modern purpose-built space, the LTG is here to help you thrive.
The Benefits of Membership
When you join the LTG, you gain access to a treasure trove of resources and opportunities designed to support your theatre’s growth and sustainability:
Connect and Collaborate: Attend our National and Regional Conferences, where you can network with fellow theatre lovers, swap stories, and spark new ideas. Plus, tap into workshops like our annual Youth Theatre event at Shakespeare’s Globe or our sessions with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Stay Informed: Receive our lively quarterly newsletter and 15 copies of the LTG Yearbook—a goldmine of production details, box-office insights, and inspiration from all 130 member theatres.
Practical Support: Access our expert-led guidance papers on everything from Child Protection to VAT, and lean on our pool of knowledge to solve pressing challenges.
Save Money: Enjoy generous discounts on play texts from Nick Hern Books, Concord Theatricals, and Josef Weinberger Ltd, plus savings on ABTT publications.
Amplify Your Voice: Be part of an organisation that advocates for amateur theatre on a national stage, lobbying Parliament and the press to keep our art form thriving.
