We are a Highland-based theatre company creating opportunities for local and emerging artists; supporting theatre-makers to develop their work and creative practice.
What’s On
We are currently delivering our first ever annual programme of work. This programme incorporates all of our previous work, including workshops, scratch nights, and the Roots Collective.
For the first time, we are partnering with Highland arts venues to host artist residencies, supporting Highland-based artists to develop their work and practice.

Get Involved
SPONSORSHIP
We always seek new sponsors to support our work. Through events we aim to build a platform for local and early-career theatre makers to connect, learn new skills, and showcase their work.
Sponsoring our charity and projects can help you with your CSR, and to connect locally and nationally with our artists and audiences.
If you would like to get involved, please get in touch.
DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA YOU WANT TO DEVELOP?
For our events, we always create opportunities for artists to develop their work, but you might have missed the open call or you might not be sure if your idea is ready for an audience.
If you have a project idea, or a draft of a play and are not sure on your next steps, please get in touch.
JOIN OUR BOARD
We are looking for additional directors to join our board, including the appointment of a treasurer.
This deadline has now passed but we are still accepting applications on a rolling deadline.
