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.

Community theatre work includes:

Theatre Club for primary school children - comprising drama and musical theatre workshops for the under 12s. Workshops lead to end of term and community presentations.

InterACT Youth Theatre - they annually work with National Theatre Connections (new writing for new people). For ages 13+. This group also enters productions in the Leverhulme Drama Festival.

Theatre Tots for pre-school children and their carers/parents

Brightlights Theatre Company (adults) - they create work for the Leverhulme Drama Festival and community performances. The group aims to help reduce social isolation and loneliness. This is offered subject to funding

Small scale touring theatre - our team of professional actors create work to tour to small scale venues and schools.

During the pandemic, Little Actors delivered much of its work online via Zoom. Many video and audio projects were completed and can be seen on the You Tube channel - Little Actors Theatre Company - YouTube.
