Live at Lyceum Theatre on Mon 4 Nov 2024. Proceeds from ticket sales will support the BBTAs youth engagement and mentoring programme.

Welcome to the Act for Action Report, a comprehensive investigation into the challenges and inequalities faced by Black professionals within the British theatre industry. This report stems from a dedicated effort to amplify voices that have historically been marginalised and underrepresented.
