Our aim is to make theatre and the arts accessible and available, to everyone; and to make arts attendance and participation an unassailable privilege and right for everyone in our community.

There’s more than one way to do this.

We produce and present a wide variety of shows – that people want to see – at affordable prices. Our thriving producing programme welcomes the best artists from across the country and internationally, and is supported by dedicated expert craftspeople in our on-site production workshops.

We present a programme of professional and community guest shows, so that as far as possible everyone’s palate is stimulated.

And we nurture the next generation of theatre-goers and theatre-makers – we discover them, then we train them and in some cases we steer them towards further training and professional development. In return, they nudge and needle us and inspire us to do better.

The challenge is to refresh, to encourage, to renew our unbroken story of service to the community, while carrying our history with us.

Your gift, your generosity, will help us to meet that challenge.

Thank you.
