UK Theatre (formerly the Theatrical Management Association) was founded in 1894 as the Theatrical Managers Association, with Sir Henry Irving as its first president.[1] There are however records of the activity of a Theatrical Managers Association going back to at least 1866.[2][3] Irving was still president in 1901.[4]

UK Theatre Awards

The association presented the TMA Awards annually since 1991, which subsequently became the UK Theatre Awards in 2011.[5] The UK Theatre Awards are a nationwide annual celebration of the outstanding achievements of theatre across the UK.
