Take Part

Back to Back Theatre Productions offer welcoming, educational, warm, transformative and caring workshop opportunities for schools, Colleges, Universities, community groups and anyone interested in using theatre as a tool for exploring subjects that our work explores. All of our theatre involves designing workshops to co-create the story that we make, with opportunities to share your story in our work. They are a supportive space for making, creating, understanding the themes of the work and supportive conversations.
