The TheatreStage will be a hub for awards and announcements from leading theatre industry trade bodies and organisations including the Association of Lighting Designers (ALD), BECTU, the Technical Theatre Awards and USITT - with the presentation of the Michael Northen Bursary Awards by the ALD, and an introduction of works by USITT's Young Scenic Designer 2014 - Patrick Rizzoti. We are also delighted to announce that for a second year running TheatreStage will host the Technical Theatre Awards.
The Theatres Trust also invites you to have coffee and doughnuts at the start of each day and hear about its Theatre Buildings at Risk Register 2014, upcoming Conference 15: Valuing Theatres, and Building Better Theatres - the new Theatres Advice Service Workshop Programme.
"We are delighted to have such a varied programme taking place on the TheatreStage this year", comments Mhora Samuel, director of The Theatres Trust. "The interest from the theatre industry to present on the TheatreStage has been fantastic and we have developed the programme from three days last year, to the full four days of the 2014 show. I'm sure the TheatreStage programme will be of great interest to visitors from a wide cross-section of the theatre sector."
