Theatre Bristol is a collective of producers. We believe that anything is possible. We follow our curiosity, individually and collectively, to work for the benefit of artists to make great art.

Theatre Bristol’s role is to work with the theatre community and others to create the best conditions for excellent live performance to be made and experienced in Bristol.

Our role is to encourage, stimulate and support multiplicity and dialogue, sustainability and independent strength, artistic brilliance and managerial robustness, collaboration and cross-fertilisation. We believe that when you share stuff, everyone gets better.

Theatre Bristol understands “theatre” in the broadest possible terms: from circus to live art, from dance to script-based play, and everything in between.

This section explains a bit about how we do this. If you’re interested in finding out more about the organisation you can download our Business Plan for 2012 – 2015. If you do feel impelled to read it, then we’d love to hear your thoughts
