Polka Theatre

 Polka Theatre are a registered charity that opened in 1979. They are a theatre that performs to children from the ages 0-14. It is free to go so anyone can attend, they also have workshops, where they can make and create things. 
 They perform to all children, and as its free it means children from disadvantaged backgrounds can also attend the theatre for the very first time. They will help us with what we our devising as they put on performances that are intimate with the audience and react with them. In our performance we could do that too, and make the audience feel more comfortable, and their expeience more memorable.
