We hope you are enjoying our new website.

Firstly can I give you a gentle reminder about your annual subscription to Theatre Forum. We really appreciate your continued membership.

We survive thanks to members subs. We would be grateful if you still haven't paid us for 2012, can you do so ASAP.

Members meeting

We always have a meeting after the Arts Council announce their grants. It's a chance to take the temperature of the sector. Irma presents our detailed analysis of funding and who got what, It's always a great chance to network with colleagues.

We expect that people will hear from the Arts Council by Friday 24 February, although this may slip by a week.

The members meeting will be held on Thursday 15 March in the National Concert Hall. More details to follow, but please save the date. If you plan on coming please RSVP online.

Irish Times Theatre Awards

Our online poll which gives you the chance to vote on the nominees for this year's awards is proving popular.

You have until Wednesday 22 February before we announce our results ahead of the big bash in IMMA that w-end. The Irish Times will carry the results of our vote too!

Individual votes are anonymous, but after you submit your vote, you can see how voting is going....
