Formed by award-winning Director and Theatre Practitioner Laura J Harris and Creative Visual Artist Terasa Newton, The Boaty Theatre Company operates with a wealth of experience, passion, and determination.

Based in Ellesmere Port, we produce award-winning, internationally recognised theatre and live performances that challenge and entertain. Our work transforms underused spaces, redefining what theatre can be. Collaborating with exceptional artists, we deliver engaging performances that push boundaries.

We offer young people real-life training in performing and production arts, providing a safe, supportive environment for personal and professional growth. Our mission extends beyond theatre walls, fostering a sense of belonging and making creative arts accessible to all.

The Boaty Theatre Company has performed at prestigious venues like St. George’s Hall, The Crucible Theatre, The Lowry, National Theatre, Storyhouse, and the Royal Shakespeare Gardens. We’ve won multiple awards, including “Children and Young People’s Organisation of the Year”, “Outstanding Contribution to the Arts”, and "Children and Young People's Wellbeing Award".

In 2023, the founders of The Boaty Theatre Company, Laura and Terasa were presented with British Empire Medals for their contributions to the Community of Ellesmere Port.

Committed to inclusivity and community engagement, we ensure our productions reflect diverse voices. We proudly contribute to the cultural enrichment of Ellesmere Port and beyond, supporting local talent and promoting social cohesion. Join us as we innovate, connect, and revive the heart of our town through theatre and the creative arts. Welcome aboard The Boaty Theatre Company!
