Based in Northumberland, we co-create compelling, dynamic, socially-relevant, and high-quality theatre, film and creative projects - with children, young people, and communities.
Our purpose is to support people to have better quality inter-personal relationships with one another, and to use theatre and drama-based activities as a methodology to achieve this; helping people connect, have fun, learn and grow together.
We work with thousands of children and young people every year, mostly in the North East of England. We are passionate advocates for theatre and film created for and by young people - and believe it should be recognised and supported as the important art form that it is. Our productions explore the realities of the world we are living in now, from the perspective of the young people we work with - inviting positive change.
