Theatre Porto
Founded in 1986 and set in the heart of Ellesmere Port, our work with local young people has earned the company an enviable reputation for surprising, challenging and innovative theatre. Our work includes professional touring productions, writing and performance projects ‘for, by and with’ young people and artist development projects at our base Whitby Hall. We raise aspirations by empowering young people to create theatre that gives them a voice, and by giving them the opportunity to engage with professional theatre on their doorstep. As one of the leading theatre companies for young people in the UK and the only professional young people's theatre company of its kind in Cheshire, Action Transport Theatre plays a crucial role in enabling young people and local families to engage with high quality theatre and arts provision. At Action Transport Theatre we don’t believe children are the future. We know they are the now, the present. Their individual ideas and imaginations are relevant today and inspire and inform everything we do. We work with children and young people as creative collaborators, to make professional and aspirational theatre which we share locally, regionally, nationally and internationally from our home in Ellesmere Port…
