Ruth Eastwood Bursary

In memory of our much-missed colleague and theatre-sector superstar, Theatres Trust has set up the Ruth Eastwood Bursary.

The bursary will be awarded to a theatre management professional working in their first senior leadership role in a regional theatre, who embodies Ruth’s spirit of collaboration, support of junior colleagues and passionate advocacy for regional theatre where Ruth spent most of her career.

The bursary recipient will be invited to Conference 24: Making Theatres Thrive as a guest of Theatres Trust, including travel and accommodation and the opportunity to share their reflections in a blog published by Theatres Trust.

Attending the conference will be an excellent opportunity to gain further insights, share ideas and widen the recipient’s network of contacts. However, more importantly, there will be the prestige of being recognised as following in the footsteps of Ruth Eastwood.

The application process is quick and easy - the deadline is Tuesday 10 September. Find out more about eligibility and how to apply.
