Research from The Stage found people of colour made up just 8% of leaders at the 50 highest-funded theatres in England - among all but one, their Executive Directors are white.

The survey of these 50 theatres also found:

  • Men held 69% of artistic director positions in 2019
  • There were 16 female artistic directors, up from 14 in 2014 and 2009
  • The number of women in executive roles has grown 35% over the past decade
  • Women now outnumber men in executive director roles at 65% of that group
