Little Actors Theatre Company is an award winning community theatre based in Neston. All workshops are led by professional actor facilitators and are delivered in the Town Hall. Presentations are staged in the Town Hall's main space using the stage and also a range of our own theatre equipment, including portable lighting and sound speaker. Sound equipment can be borrowed from Neston Players.

As a Registered Charity, Little Actors offers a range of activities and events in the community. To ensure inclusion and access for all, 50% discounts or FREE places are offered for low income families (depending on funding levels available). Little Actors works with an ethos of access for all and improving health and wellbeing through participation in the arts, plus building social cohesion through socially creative environments. As well as enriching the quality of life of the wider community.
