The Little Theatre Guild , was founded in 1946 to represent the views of Amateur theatres across the UK . Its original membership was nine with groups such as The Crescent Theatre , Highbury Little Theatre and The Questors taking a leading part in its foundation . By 1988 this had increased to 30 and by 2010 to 103 theatre companies , some of which are outside of the UK . The major restriction for membership is that it is open only to those amateur theatres that own or lease the theatre premises upon which productions are mounted . Similar to the National Drama Festivals Association , the LTG organises festivals of amateur drama across the United Kingdom
