Our young theatre makers extend an invitation to follow a group of schoolchildren who discover a mysterious door… Jumping into new realms, they meet unlikely characters and overcome unexpected obstacles.
Arcola’s annual Participation Festival celebrating youth and community theatre is back!
Over 100 participants local to Hackney, between the ages of nine and 79, will take to the stage to present five new devised works developed over the Autumn 2025 and Spring 2026 Participation season here at Arcola Theatre.
