Founder / Director
CASE STUDY:
Theatre Bath & Theatre Bath Bus
Client / Role:
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…”
