The management status quo decision comes as fire regulations work is undertaken at the theatre. There were fears the theatre may have to close if it does not comply with the findings of a recent fire report.
Cecilia Kean, chairman of BATS, told Brixham Town Council the compliance work would not impact on the running of the theatre.
Cllr Chris Lomas told the meeting: "Any talks of closing the theatre would be madness.
"We will have to pay for this work when Torbay Council should have paid for it."
The town council also agreed to subsidise the theatre by £6,000.
Cllr Martyn Hodge said: "It is a small amount to pay for the theatre to keep going. It is as much a public amenity as is Shoalstone Pool."
