About Us
We’re a creative bunch who live at the intersection of creativity and play. We ignite and fuel the creative spark in children and young people, equipping them with skills to be confident, capable, creative citizens in a world of possibilities.
We believe all tamariki should have the opportunity to experience performance art that speaks of Aotearoa and their place in the world. Our National Theatre for Children tours creative, immersive, and inclusive shows across the country, performing to thousands of children and young people.
Our kaupapa is to create experiences For, With, By, and Between children and young people.
Our Values:
-
Children are at the heart of everything we do
-
Creativity is for everyone
-
We are creative connectors
