“Having been involved in the creative arts to varying degrees throughout my school and adult life, I have seen first hand the positive impact that they can have. When you join a performance group, of any kind, you become part of a family where the only focus is on the common goal. This creates a wonderful environment where people feel safe to express themselves in ways that they may not in their everyday lives, building confidence and self esteem. This is perfectly represented in the ethos of Atlas Theatre Company. The passion and dedication that Holly and her team show in their drive to make theatre accessible to anyone and everyone is inspiring, as is the number of lives that they touch with their work. In a climate where the arts are being sidelined in schools, it is wonderful that there is still an option for people (especially young people) to access them in the community.”

Foundation
We are hugely grateful to the Hays Travel Foundation who are supporting our up and coming project 'Willow's on the Wear'. A retelling of the classic story of Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham set along the banks of the River Wear!
This project will see a full length performance by our Community Company as well as shorter versions being performed by local primary schools involved in our School Partnership Programme.
Together
forever
trust
We are so grateful to the Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust for helping us support the engagement of children in the creative arts! Money received by the Trust will be supporting bursaries for children to participate in our after school clubs; helping to break down the financial barriers to the creative arts for young people.
June Rose Project
The June Rose Project is the name given to the funds donated by a member of the community in memory of June Rose Saunders, a loving grandmother, mother, and devoted theatre enthusiast. Established by Atlas Theatre Company CIC and supported by contributions from a donor, the Project isn’t a separate legal entity. Rather, it refers specifically to donated funds that support Atlas Theatre Company CIC’s work in schools and the broader community; a mission that was very dear to June’s heart.
