🎭 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:

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

I've used improv in many staff meetings... ... you should too! Here's one of the best in town, Craig Price, doing what he does best to turn everyday work struggles into giggles, fun, and a new level of connection! If you don't have a champ like Craig in your town, go find your local improv group and ask if they would do a staff training. It's absolutely worth it. We too need to play a bit to learn... even when we are big kids with big jobs. 😂😍 #professionaldevelopment #improvatwork #museum #stafftraining #inspiredimpact
Director of Community Programs and Applied Improvisation for The Naples Players at the Sugden Community Theatre
The Naples Players Access Theatre Department is hard at work sharing constructive comunication techniques through applied improv games like this one. Naples Airport Authority, and their forward thinking executives, were nice enough to invite nicholas “nick” dalton and me to kick off their strategic planning meeting with a ride on this human rollercoaster! Thanks Robin King and Mina Merkel for demonstraing the power of improv as a communication tool.
