What our members think

“I’ve been a member of the Independent Theatre Council for just 5 months, but in that time though, I’ve received advice on setting up my own company, have kept up with the latest on what Covid-19 means for our industry and what support is available and have had 3 training sessions to strengthen my skills as an Artistic Director.”
