We rarely talk about money when it comes to making theatre. As a rule, all our performances in schools are heavily subsidised, and all the work with young people to develop our shows is offered to those young people for free.
To make this happen, it costs a fair amount!

Our shows for young people don't only have a huge impact on the audiences, but on the artists who create them. Take it from the writers themselves!

Over our 72 years, our work hasn't been led by 1 particular artist but by the young people & the landscape of theatre in schools. All that said, our Artistic Directors have been key to keeping our mission on track.
