🎭 British theatres offer outstanding productions at exceptional value. While the cost of attending the theatre sparks lively discussion, focusing exclusively on prices often misses the bigger picture. 💷 What does the data tell us? According to UK Theatre, the majority of tickets sold in regional theatres cost under £35, with 99.9% priced below £100. Even in commercial venues, 65% of all tickets sold for less than £45. Furthermore, since 2019, the average ticket price at UK Theatre venues has decreased by 5% in real terms, failing to keep pace with inflation. A thriving theatre plays a pivotal role in place-making, drawing people to local high streets, boosting tourism and driving substantial economic benefits. For every £1 spent on a theatre ticket, an additional £1.40 is generated within the local economy. However, their future depends on bold action. Increased public investment, innovative policies and an honest dialogue about ticket pricing are critical to sustaining and growing this invaluable sector. Read more:

The secret to incredible hospitality is a culture of excellence and delivering theatre. How do you initiate this? I think the key is switching on a hospitality mindset. Understanding the bar is the stage and curating the presentation of every element of service.

To colleagues in the theater sector, please download and read this publication from the NEA’s National Arts Statistics and Evidence-based Reporting Center (NASERC) titled “Curtains Up: Critical Factors Influencing Theater Resiliency.” The report covers the crisis in the theater industry which has been catalogued in the press and by research groups such as SMU DataArts, CMG, and Broadway League. Plagued by issues that began before COVID-19, the COVID shutdown only accelerated the financial challenges and declining audiences faced by many theaters. This report summarizes some of the innovative strategies that theaters have employed to address the crises as reported in the press, in academic journal articles, in trade publications, and on blogs posted by theater experts. Download the report to learn about the strategies theaters implemented during the pandemic to remain solvent, how those practices were different from those in place before the pandemic, and which strategies theaters are still following to remain profitable. https://lnkd.in/gFRqVegU

How Adaptability is Shaping Our Future In a rapidly changing world, Barbican Theatre, adaptability has become the key to thriving in any field. At Barbican Theatre, we’re embracing this change by transforming the way we work—prioritising flexibility over fixed roles and focusing on dynamic responsibilities that empower our team to respond to new challenges and opportunities. This shift is about more than just improving efficiency; it's about ensuring we remain an inclusive, innovative space that is responsive to the needs of our community, audiences, and artists.   We’ve taken inspiration from pioneering movements such as Corporate Rebels (we can’t help getting drawn to other rebels!), a global group of forward-thinking business leaders who reject the status quo in favour of more flexible, people-centred ways of working. Their approach—focused on dismantling rigid hierarchies and fostering a culture of trust, responsibility, and continuous learning—deeply resonates with us. Much like Corporate Rebels, Barbican Theatre has always identified with a rebellious spirit, challenging traditional methods to find what works best for us and our creative community.   We’ve also worked closely with Claire, our Business Development Consultant to shape a model that aligns with our mission. This process has involved workshops on business planning, audience development, and redefining our mission and values. Through these shared sessions, we’ve explored what truly matters to Barbican Theatre and our community, leading to a more holistic, adaptive approach to how we run our theatre.   Read more about our new adaptive strategy in our latest blog post https://lnkd.in/ep8kV3bh

I📣 Why booking tickets is vital when supporting local theatre and small touring companies 📣 Theatres will usually agree to a box office split with the theatre company to perform in their venue. With larger companies, this can be a lot easier as they have already established themselves within the industry. However for smaller companies, so much relies on them being able to fill those seats. Not only is it to get audiences to come and see the show, but it’s months of hard work and sacrifices too. Ticket sales can be make or break for smaller companies because if they can’t prove they will fill seats, the performance can be cancelled. That being said, booking may not always be feasible if your plans are likely to change ect. Luckily, a lot of theatres have now introduce a ticket protection scheme so that you are able to be fully refunded if you are unable to attend or sell your tickets. So if you are planning on coming to see a local show, or support a small up and coming company, please consider booking because it makes all the difference! 🤍 That being said, there are still a few tickets left for our show at Barbican Theatre Plymouth tonight at 7:30! https://lnkd.in/em_jJuhF #localarts #localtheatre #theatrecompanies #booking #supportlocalart #supportsouthwesttalent #newwriting #plymouth #plymoutharts #smallbuisnesses Plymouth Culture IGNITE PLYMFUTURES University of Plymouth Alumni Marjon Futures (Careers and Employability Team) Theatre Royal Plymouth
