Access & Opportunity
Ultimately, theatre holds something for everyone, and Greenwich Theatre is committed to promoting equality of opportunity across all aspects of its operation. This applies to audiences, performers, practitioners, young participants and staff alike. In education, we strive to use theatre to tackle the barriers which prevent young people from accessing education, employment or training. For theatre-makers, we strive to offer developmental opportunities unavailable elsewhere. In programming, we offer a broad, diverse selection of productions to satisfy a wide audience. For staff, we encourage training and personal development, both inside and outside of the industry. In welcoming audiences, we strive to offer accessible facilities, performances, and activities throughout the year.
More than anything, we are ready and keen to talk to our audience, our participants and our staff at any time to improve the many and varied opportunities provided by Greenwich Theatre.
