UK Theatre (formerly the Theatrical Management Association) was founded in 1894 as the Theatrical Managers Association, with Sir Henry Irving as its first president.[1] There are however records of the activity of a Theatrical Managers Association going back to at least 1866. Irving was still president in 1901.
