​We're currently looking for a new home on a long term basis, large enough to rehearse in and present productions for an audience of 50 - 100, ideally with space to make and store scenery and costumes and run our office. We would need 24 hour access and ideally would like a premises that can be secured and self contained
​
But additionally we're always interested to hear of temporary, smaller, quirky, underused spaces where we could present weekend performances on an occasional, regular basis for audiences as small as 30, setting up on Friday and clearing on Monday nights at various times during the year. We really can make use of all sorts of places larger than around 65 square feet, in every kind of condition, in doors or out doors -
​
- so If you have any ideas we'd love to hear from you.​
Our Venues
No significant money changes hands, yet in a few months or longer that we spend in each venue, hundreds of people from the local community can be enriched by classics they might not otherwise encounter.
​These spaces can accommodate as few as 30 people or hundreds.
​
Allowing us to present vibrant, topical productions of some of the greatest stories ever written, as well as beloved family classics.. .
Our research suggests that the way to attract a new audience is to take theatre out of traditional venues, where many people feel uncertain, and to create dynamic pop-up performance spaces in welcoming, relaxed, borrowed venues, at the heart of the community.​
​
People of all ages discover the power and pleasure of coming together from every walk of life and socio-economic background to sit together and share in the experience of watching a great story brought to vivid life before their eyes by the power of actors igniting the audience’s imagination.
Actors and theatre makers benefit from having a liberating space which they can dedicate to finding new audiences for the art form they love and securing its future at a time when tomorrow looks bleak.
Venues can benefit from the increased footfall and profile that hosting live theatre can bring. The owners of commercial property benefit because its use by registered charities such as ours means they no longer pay business rates for the time we’re in residence.
Young audience members benefit from having a regular opportunity to enjoy the best of children’s literature from down the centuries, at weekends, in after-school clubs, and during major school holidays, fostering a lifelong theatre-going habit that will enrich them at every age.
Students benefit from seeing the texts they study performed live, with all the insight and heightened understanding this experience brings.
Every generation gets to look up from their screens and share in a stimulating live experience together.
