The organisation was founded in 1894 as the Theatrical Managers Association, with Sir Henry Irving as its first president.[2] There are however records of the activity of a Theatrical Managers Association going back to at least 1866.[3][4] Irving was still president in 1901.[5]
The current Joint Presidents of UK Theatre are Jon Gilchrist and Stephanie Sirr MBE.
UK Theatre Awards
[edit]The association presented the TMA Awards annually since 1991, which subsequently became the UK Theatre Awards in 2011.[6] The UK Theatre Awards are a nationwide annual celebration of the outstanding achievements of theatre across the UK.
