Theatre Direct is one of the country’s leading professional theatres for young people. Established in 1976, the award-winning company’s productions have toured nationally and internationally. In 2009, Theatre Direct opened the doors to its new community location in the Artscape Wychwood Barns where it now operates a fully equipped theatre and sunny education and rehearsal spaces.

Our Vision
Our work is driven by a belief that young people deserve truth not diversion, that they have a cultural right to meaningful content and compelling, relevant theatre. We view our audience as thinking, feeling, complex individuals, not a market, not just future audiences but our present audience that needs and demands theatre that engages all their faculties and feelings.

Our audience inspires us to tackle big questions in the same way children and youth ask them, honestly, directly, courageously and passionately.
