Society of London Theatre (SOLT)

The Society of London Theatre is a professional trade association serving theatre

producers and managers active in central London. The Society’s membership embraces

almost all the major theatre interests in central London; most of its members represent commercial theatre. However, membership also includes representatives of subsidised dramatic and lyric theatre organisations operating in central London, including the four great ‘National Companies’. The Society also welcomes affiliate members drawn from subsidised companies based elsewhere in London.

The Society offers a range of services including advice on legal, general and industrial relations matters; managing the process of collective bargaining with the entertainment trade unions; providing commercial services of benefit to the

membership as a whole, including a range of ticketing services; promoting theatre-going to the widest possible audience; representing to the wider public and to public and other relevant authorities the interests of London’s theatre industry as a whole; research on behalf of the industry; management and promotion of the nationwide sale of Theatre Tokens.
