Castle StreetWe encourage our audiences and participants to visit us and take part in our promoted programme, events and celebrations in the venue.
The way in which we make our work responds to what our communities want from us, there is a strong emphasis on inclusion and collaboration with non-arts partners.
We like to work in new and unusual environments encouraging people who would not normally attend theatre events to meet and enjoy it.
The development of creative skills is at the heart of all our activity. We believe this increases the number of new people who can deliver high-quality creative and cultural activity in the region that is appropriate to the needs of our diverse communities.
