ARTS MANAGEMENT & PRODUCTION SERVICES.

Together, we’re raising the curtain on a new era of excellence in Coventry’s amateur theatre scene.

ABOUT US…

This new arm of the Alliance of Coventry Theatre Societies (ACTS) is dedicated to strengthening the backbone of amateur theatre in Coventry and the wider region by offering a range of essential arts management and production services.

Building on ACTS’ longstanding dedication to developing local talent and encouraging collaboration among societies, this new initiative offers Production Management, General Management, and Producing Services (both Associate and Executive), all customised to meet the specific needs of amateur and community-led theatre.

Whether you're staging a play, musical, event, or workshop, we are here to assist with the practical, logistical, and strategic elements of your production. This allows your creative teams to concentrate on their strengths. Our support spans the entire production process, including scheduling, budgeting, contracting, compliance, and creative production.

Our aim is to professionalise the process while preserving the spirit of community theatre, ensuring that every show, regardless of scale, is set up for success.

Looking ahead, this new ACTS initiative will also examine wider aspects of arts management, such as attracting audiences, funding approaches, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of amateur theatre. 

UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS

We are excited to continue our collaboration with Three Spires Guildhall as Associate Producers for their upcoming Cinderella production, scheduled at Warwick Arts Centre in 2026. This partnership highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality, large-scale theatre to regional audiences, marking another milestone in our ongoing relationship with TSG.
