Arts Alive and Telford Theatre on Tour join forces to bring live performance to local communities

Arts Alive has announced an exciting new partnership with Telford Theatre on Tour, working together to ensure communities across the borough continue to enjoy high-quality live events while the Telford Theatre undergoes major refurbishment.

As part of this collaboration, a dynamic programme of theatre, music and spoken word will tour to venues across the region, including The Anstice, Belmont Hall, Cosy Hall, and Dawley Town Hall. The partnership brings together Arts Alive’s expertise in rural touring with Telford Theatre’s commitment to cultural provision, ensuring continuity of access to live performance for audiences of all ages.

Hannah Prior, Artistic Director at Arts Alive, commented:

“We’re thrilled to be working alongside Telford Theatre on Tour. It’s a partnership built on shared values - a belief that great live performance should be accessible in every community. We’re particularly excited to bring bold, diverse and joyful work into venues that are at the heart of local life.”

Debbie King Theatre & Programming Manager at Telford Theatre, added:

“Telford Theatre is currently closed for refurbishment, but that hasn’t stopped us. This partnership with Arts Alive enables us to maintain a vibrant cultural offer across the borough, supporting venues and reaching audiences in new ways.”

The partnership launches with performances from the Autumn/Winter 2025 season, with more dates to be announced as the collaboration develops into 2026 and beyond.
