CREATING COMMUNITY THROUGH THEATRE
SAVVY Theatre is an award-winning company, creating ambitious, inclusive productions and theatre experiences that bring different groups of people together.
We are committed to developing innovative, ensemble-based projects that engage with young people and local communities, where everyone is welcomed and involved regardless of their ability or disability, advantage or disadvantage.
The company was founded in 2007 by the current Artistic Director, who wanted to challenge audience and cultural perceptions of participatory theatre. Going to the theatre shouldn't be a chore.
It shouldn't be something you are forced to do because you happen to know someone in the cast.
It should be invigorating, memorable, exciting, challenging, uplifting and fun.
It should make you want to come back.
SAVVY aims to create ambitious and exciting theatre with youth and community casts, raising the personal expectations of both those involved and those who come to watch.
SAVVY Theatre is a resident company, in the newly refurbished Fairfield Halls, Croydon.
