Day-to-day Running

The day-to-day running of the Swan is in the hands of three teams of volunteers:

The Facilities Team is responsible for maintenance, repairs and development works for the building. The team is also responsible for all the Front of House services such as the bar and interval refreshments. Terms of Reference here: Facilities Team Terms of Reference

The Artistic Team is responsible for planning each season’s stage productions, making sure we have a balanced selection of plays, and also ensuring that each show runs smoothly from the first audition, through the rehearsal period and into the final production.
