The Theatrical Guild
Established in 1891 as The Theatrical Ladies Guild - the charity is now called The Theatrical Guild and we support Backstage and Front of House Theatre staff, in times of personal or professional crisis. We help theatre professionals across the UK to recover from ill health or injury, overcome sudden set-backs, access mid-career training or provide support with their mental health. We offer practical help at any stage of your career – providing emergency grants, financial support, up-skills training, welfare guidance or counselling.
