Fir Tree Theatre
About Us
Fir Tree Theatre is committed to providing entertainment and at the same time addressing issues that need to be discussed.
PRIMARY
The primary goal of Fir Tree Theatre is to provide theatre for everyone.
FIR TREES
Fir trees symbolize determination, honesty, and the endurance that comes with hope for the future.
SYMBOLISM
The symbolism of a fir tree carries the message of hope during challenges and encourages you to have patience while you wait for a better future.
We speak for everyone regardless of race, gender, age, religion or sexuality, and economics committed to equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility.
We believe that we should address difficult subjects and that our productions should be available to all.
Therefore, we intentionally and rigorously work to break down barriers and to give a voice to the under-represented and under-resourced.
Our aim is to produce one play per year, each play addressing a subject that we consider vital to society and to address each subject with compassion, empathy, understanding, sincerity and humour.
We aim to be an important voice in the theatrical world by creating art locally that has an impact throughout the country.
Our intention is for each play to be taken to as wide an audience as possible in the UK.
Any profits that we make as a business will be reinvested in our projects and our artists.
We are committed to acting in a financially responsible manner believe in treating everyone with respect and we will work to create a supportive culture that allows our teams to do their best work with constant support.
We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards in all our work.
“An excellent play and insightful. My sister, age 70 has Dementia and is changing rapidly.”
