Theatre Bristol is a partnership between people involved in theatre in Bristol, Bristol City Council and Arts Council England. Its role is to develop the theatre industry.
This section explains what we have been up to in the last year and what is planned for the future. If there is anything in it that sparks your imagination or you see anything you would like to contribute to then do get in touch. Where it says “we” it refers to everyone who has made the projects what they are.
Theatre South West
Theatre Bristol is one of eight similar partnerships around the South West region. Collectively these partnerships are called Theatre South West. The group is made up of the Coordinators of the eight partnerships and, along with partners such as Culture South West and Arts Council England, is looking at the development needs of the theatre industry at a regional level.

How Theatre Bristol Works
Theatre Bristol has a steering group made up of key individuals within the theatre industry who have overseen the creation of a strategic plan for development. The Steering Group’s role is to steer Theatre Bristol towards meeting the aims and objectives in this plan. It is very likely that the recent Bristol Live document will now take the place of TB’s 2004 strategic plan. Theatre Bristol will respond to the findings of the Bristol Live process over the coming months.
As well as representation from Arts Council England and Bristol City Council members of the Steering Group represent some of the most important theatre organisations in the city. But they also sit on the Steering Group as individuals, using their skills and experience to represent theatre in its greatest diversity.
How you can get involved
We are constantly looking for good ideas for development. If people come to us with visionary ideas to move the theatre industry forward we will always respond.
Steering Group: Alison Comley; Angie Belcher; Bim Mason; Claire Teasdale; Collette Conroy; Dan Danson; David Straun; Dick Penny; Helen Cole; Helen Tomlin; Jude Merrill; Neil Beddow; Paul Goddard; Phillippa Haynes and Sheila Hannon
