The Theatrical Guild is the only registered charity in the UK providing help and support to anyone who works or has worked Backstage or Front of House, be it general staff or management.
Offering an extremely valuable service, TTG gives financial aid to those who are unable to work due to illness, accidents or to those who have retired.
Karen Nichols, Chief Administrator, explained: "We found exhibiting at The ABTT Theatre Show enormously worthwhile. It gave us the opportunity to meet with theatre professionals from around the country. It was invaluable meeting face to face and being able to let them know that The Theatrical Guild exists and explain how our charity can make a dramatic difference should they ever need it."
The ABTT Theatre Show is continually expanding its visitor base, which comprises technicians, technical managers, heads of drama departments, architects, consultants, designers, building services and facility managers who are involved with auditoria. It offers pan-technical solutions for equipping, re-furbishing or up-grading any performance space, beit a drama studio, school hall, auditorium, multi-purpose venue or West End theatre.
As the show approaches its 30th Anniversary it is clear that its limits have expanded well beyond the limits of the West End.
