Hosting Community Events In The Theatre

Written on May 28, 2021   By   in Arts, Theatre

If you are hosting community events in a theatre then you know how much fun it can be to create an exciting space that encourages interaction. Community events in a theatre can be as simple or elaborate as you choose. If you want to host a dance party, an open mic night, or even a costume party your community club has the power to get the word out and make it happen. The following article will outline some of the ideas you can use to make your next community event in a theatre exciting and fun.

One idea is hosting a beginners’ martial arts class. You could charge admission to the class at £5 and invite your community club to come and show off their moves. Everyone will benefit from having a chance to learn new martial arts techniques from an instructor who really knows what they’re doing. You could also arrange for an expert to teach a couple of classes. Your martial arts class would become an exciting focal point for the community. Everyone would have something to look forward to each month.

Further Ideas For Community Events

Another idea for hosting community events in a theatre is holding a kickboxing tournament. With the growing interest in martial arts today, there are now more than enough kickboxing clubs, instructors, and tournaments around the country. By hosting a kickboxing tournament, you would encourage others to join your martial arts community.

You may also want to consider hosting a comedy event at your community centre. Just because your community is large doesn’t mean you can’t find a way to get everyone involved. Hosting a comedy event is a great way to get the comedy fan community talking. Look into local theatres or comedy clubs to host a couple of free shows. Then invite your community club to join in on the fun by paying the comedian a set fee for their performance.

Finally, you can have contests at your event. Try hosting a trivia competition or a wine tasting event. People love contests and enjoy receiving a prize. People will be coming back to your event again just to win these things.

Planning To Host Events At The Theatre/ Community Hub

If you decide to host events at your community centre, be sure to plan well. You need to think about how many people will be attending and what type of entertainment will be most appealing to them. Consider the layout and design of your venue. If your community centre is large, consider the potential space required and what type of seating arrangements can be made for your attendees. Also, do your research before hand and consult with your community club to make sure the event goes off without a hitch.

When you are at the initial planning stage, it is important that you also consider the numbers of people that will be attending the events. Ensuring that you know the numbers of people that are attending events is a great way through which you can cater to everyone’s needs. Events which have too many guests can become a health hazard as well as becoming too congested and dangerous.
