About Us
"There is no better theatre company than This Is My Theatre!"
- BN1 Magazine
Founded in 2016 by Artistic Director Sarah Slator we are a theatre company that prides itself on producing classical plays and literary adaptations that are accessible for all
audiences, particularly those living in rural communities. We work with our venues in tailoring our productions to the spaces they are to be performed within - be they large or little - to create atmospheric theatre in beautiful settings that provide magical experiences for our wonderful audiences.
​
We are a Sussex-based company that tours all across the country taking our productions to a variety of spaces - from churches to cafes, cathedrals to car parks and care homes to coastal forts. We regularly work with charities and heritage sites with proceeds from our shows going towards the upkeep, maintenance and restoration of the fantastic spaces we are so fortunate to visit.
"This company never fail to impress!"
- Grapevine Live
And there have been some pretty magical moments along the way including a performance of Jane Austen's Persuasion in the grounds of the manor that inspired her works or managing to incorporate a real-life steam engine into several showings of The Railway Children or how about a production of Robin Hood... In Sherwood Forest itself!
​
If you are a venue, we try to make hosting us as simple as possible. We are a very self-sufficient outfit with our own staging, lighting and box-office system. Interested in having This Is My Theatre perform at your venue? Then please visit our Host A Show page and get in touch.
​
Or perhaps you are interested in catching one of our shows? You can find out more about our upcoming productions here. We can promise vibrant, fun and family-friendly adaptations of everyone's favourite stories. We hope you'll join us!
