Our inclusive approach sets us apart. We believe in giving every child, regardless of their educational or physical needs, or their socio-economic, religious or ethnic backgrounds, the chance to be involved in the performing arts.

We give children and young people – who otherwise might not have had the opportunity to do so – the chance to explore a whole new, rich, exciting and safe creative world. In the process they grow in confidence and develop respect for themselves and each other. They also develop the ability to engage with the performing arts in a variety of different ways.

"My son is autistic and unable to access mainstream theatre activities because of his disability... At the beginning he could only stay in rehearsals for ½ hour but a few months in he can do a whole two hour session and all the performances. He absolutely loves being part of this fantastic company.”
