Theatre Bath & Theatre Bath Bus
Client / Role:

Theatre Bath & The Theatre Bath Bus:
Founder / Director

Brief:

In 2011, I founded Theatre Bath to give the local theatre community a stronger voice. What began as a website and social hub grew into conferences, collaborations with local press, and even a mobile theatre — the Theatre Bath Bus, a converted double-decker that took workshops and shows to communities.

Results
  • Established Theatre Bath as a trusted local & national voice.
  • Expanded access to theatre through the Bus, breaking down barriers for audiences.
  • Created long-term collaborations across press, venues, and companies.
Approach
  • Built and ran a WordPress site for reviews, news, and interviews.
  • Grew social media channels into a central hub for Bath’s theatre-makers.
  • Organised three conferences, uniting professionals, students, and audiences.
  • Launched the Theatre Bath Bus, taking theatre directly into schools, festivals, and neighbourhoods.

“I have worked in community arts and theatre for over 30 years – in that time I have not met many people as dedicated, interested, insightful and hard-working as Luke. He also works as a lighting designer and technician. Thankfully, his days in the dark don’t stop him from seeing the bigger picture…”
