We've been producing theatre since 1981. Our purpose-built theatre in Endeavour Park offers a hub of participation activity, public performances and the support and provisions for upcoming associate artists. Outside of the theatre our outreach work and touring shows take the power of theatre into the local community. As a charity our work relies heavily on funding and donations to help us provide these services that aid well-being and support mental health to all ages of the local communities and beyond.
