Lightbox Theatre

Lightbox Theatre discovers and brings to life stories that are untold or overlooked.

OUR VISION

From the revival of lost dramatic works and voices to the discovery of new ones we want to produce stories that:

– shed light on people, writers or situations that are overlooked
– illuminate and uplift
– might not yet be scripted
– are authentic and resonate with our world today

Through our productions, community engagement and participation opportunities we are committed to advancing the public’s access and exposure to the arts. We aim to reach new audiences and in particular offer opportunities for creative engagement for those from disadvantaged backgrounds so as to alleviate the effects of poverty, isolation, illness and exclusion.

OUR VALUES

We believe that stories can be found in the everyday and that theatre:

– should be inclusive and accessible to everyone
– has a transformational power that can build connection and community, and reduce isolation and disadvantage

PUBLIC BENEFIT

We want to expand people’s horizons and benefit the public by:

– bringing people together in a shared and rich experience
– providing subsidised creative opportunities for people who have experienced inequality of opportunity or who may be isolated or suffer exclusion or disadvantage
– endeavoring to create a better understanding of ourselves and others
