Welcome
to our Theatre Factory
based in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria
Theatre
Factory is an integrated programme of theatre activity by,
for and with young people in the Furness Peninsula. The
programme covers acting, improvisation, voice, movement,
theatre visits and writing for the theatre. Theatre Factory
provides the opportunity for young people to collaborate
with practising theatre artists and all the productions
spring from the creativity of those young people, guided
by skilled professionals.

I
never get picked to be in plays at school. They always pick
the good people. When I told my teacher I was going to be
in a play at the Forum 28, I don’t think she believed
me. My Mam and my Nana came to see me and they were dead
proud of me. They told me we were all dead good . . . I
was dead proud of me! Cast Member
We
have a fight to get him to open his reading book but he
practised that script every night. I think it’s helped
his reading no end and his confidence
