Hello. Shwmae.

I’m Tom, a freelance theatre and live events Producer from Cardiff.

I make new shows and put on cultural events, platforming people, places and perspectives we don’t hear enough from. You’ll find my work in community centres and rehearsal rooms, in empty shops and traditional theatre spaces. Here you can take a look at some of the shows and projects I’ve worked on as a freelance Producer. I’m also developing new shows through my company Tom Bevan Creative Ltd (TBC) supported by the Stage One Bursary.

I love the magic energy of live performance and storytelling. I want to make work that sparks conversation, brings joy to people, changes lives and challenges oppressive systems. I have co-created shows and events with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, young people in care, and people experiencing food poverty.

I know that the process of making work is just as important as the end result. I am passionate about healthy working conditions and I aim to create environments where artists and communities can thrive. I have ADHD and dyslexia and I am a huge advocate for asking for what you need to do your best work. 

I run workshops and training on lots of different aspects of producing, fundraising and evaluation. I am an alumni and now mentor and visiting lecturer on the Arts Management MA Programme at the Royal Welsh College Music and Drama. I’m training to be a qualified coach and I am an aspiring Legislative Theatre facilitator. I’m proud to be a Strike A Light board member.

Some of the people I’ve worked with…

And things they’ve said about working with me…

“I have worked with Tom [as a freelancer] for over 7 years. Time and again, he has proven himself to be creative, resourceful and extremely skilled in creative work with and for young people. He has a proven track record of producing extremely successful work across many settings including complex outdoor environments such as Castell Coch and not forgetting the memorable project to turn Flatholm Island in the Bristol Channel into a Pirate Island for Looked After Children.”
Lee Patterson, Lead Officer, Unicef Child Friendly City Programme, Cardiff Council

“I worked with Tom as a freelance producer for Strike A Light on a large scale, co-created project as part of Coventry City of Culture. Hungry Nation was a complex piece of work based within a social supermarket in Coventry exploring the rise of food banks and peoples varied journeys into food poverty and the social stigma that surrounded it. Tom is now an active and valued member of the Strike A Light board. He is a joy to work with. He is extremely capable, thorough, detailed, quick and always kind.”
Sarah Blowers, Co-Artistic Director, Strike A Light
