ATC Theatre
Actors Touring Company (ATC) is a British touring theatre company based in London, founded in 1978 by artistic director John Retallack. Matthew Xia has been led the company since 2018.
Actors Touring Company (ATC) was founded in 1978 by John Retallack, who was also the company's inaugural artistic director. Other former artistic directors have included Mark Brickman, Ceri Sherlock, Nick Philippou, Gordon Anderson, Bijan Sheibani, and Ramin Gray.
Since 2007 the company has toured internationally and throughout the UK.
In November 2018, after dissatisfaction with Gray's leadership had led to his departure (after a formal warning relating to complaints of "inappropriate verbal conduct"), Matthew Xia was appointed artistic director. Xia focused on changing the direction and governance of ATC; to this end, he established a new board and relocating the headquarters from the Institute of Contemporary Arts to Brixton House, which had recently opened as a theatre. These moves were intended to better align with the vision and values of the company. Xia's first production with the company was Amsterdam, by Israeli writer Maya Arad Yasur, at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond, London, in autumn 2019.
