ABTT Theatre Show
The Theatres Trust Conference - Delivering Sustainable Theatres
The Association of British Theatre Technicians (ABTT) Historical Research Committee and OISTAT Theatre Timeline Working Group (TTWG) are pleased to invite you for a meeting in London June 12 – 15.
A year ago at the Prague Quadrennial the History & Theory and Technology Commissions initiated a new OISTAT working group with a title of Theatre Timeline. Our aims are to provide a focus group for interest and projects in historical theatres, theatre practice and technologies, to foster better general understanding of older theatre technologies, international exchange of information, and guidance on recording and preservation.
Planned around the UK Theatres Trust 2012 Conference – Delivering Sustainable Theatres - and the annual ABTT 2012 Theatre Show, the week offers a menu of Self Select events open to the OISTAT Membership, with opportunities to meet and network with those in the UK and from other countries with similar interests.

London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) holds a wealth of archival and printed source material for the history of London theatres and music halls. The most striking sources held are those deriving from the licensing powers of the Greater London Council and its predecessor authorities. These provide evidence of how places of public entertainment were established and managed. In addition there are a number of deposited collections among which can be found playbills, programmes, newspaper cuttings, and contemporary accounts of performances.
