We create bold theatrical events which are joyful, playful and full of humanity, staged in traditional theatres, unusual places, and community owned spaces. We are theatre makers, living, working and creating in the North West where we champion artistic excellence whilst maintaining a national outlook, working with established and emerging artists from across the UK.
Our work is delivered across 3 core strands: Theatre, Community & Artist Opportunities.

– We are bold in the stories we tell and collaborative in our practice.

– We experiment with new ideas to invest in theatre that pushes boundaries and encourages people from all walks of life to access art.

– We create excellent theatre, interactive and immersive experiences, using participatory practice to deploy them in the heart of Merseyside and offer local artists and local people pathways to engage in them.

– We remove the barriers people face when accessing the arts, finding ways for audiences to become active participants, making space for people to create and stage their own stories.

If you’d like to create with us, or get to know us better, please get in touch.
We often recruit for freelance roles and love collaborations- all opportunities will be posted on our website and social media.
