Inclusive Interactive Imaginative
We involve communities in making theatre that inspires wellbeing, breaks down barriers and engages people in the process of personal and social change.
About us
A Stage to Perform
We work with young people and communities in Hackney and East London to ensure access for all to arts activities that break down barriers and engage people in debate. Immediate Theatre’s vision is for a society where questioning, articulate and motivated people create and collaborate to build thriving communities.
