Blue Apple Theatre

Worlds filled with stories, imagination and discovery.

Performing arts are about more than performances.

They're about sharing ideas, building friendships and being part of a creative community.

Every term, Blue Apple Theatre groups come together to explore characters, create performances and share stories.

One of the highlights of the year is For One Night Only at Thornden Hall on 13 February 2027, but the real magic happens in the weekly sessions where stories, characters and performances first take shape.

Blue Apple Theatre runs weekly performing arts groups across Hampshire for people with learning disabilities, autism and other neuro disabilities. We have groups in Wi******er, Hedge End, Southampton, Ringwood, and other locations in the New Forest.
