The Theatre Centre

The Theatre Centre Non-profit live arts incubator, café & community hub. We provide artists with infrastructure and resources to make their art – from the idea to production.

The Theatre Centre develops, presents and produces live performance through collaboration between artists, staff and audience. The Theatre Centre is committed to new work and new ways of working. We are a public space – open and accessible to the people of our community – where citizens can imagine, debate, celebrate, protest, unite, and be responsible for inventing the future.
