The Company seeks new approaches to 'Main Stream' theatre and audiences The Company is committed to producing high quality entertaining classical theatre. The company has an audience base of 10,000 per production..

The Company works in an ensemble style allowing greater creative freedom for the actor. The emphasis is put on the creativity of the stage actor and the physical and visual power of the text, rather than the technical paraphernalia behind which many a production is obscured.

As well as pioneering new venues and audiences in Wales with its open air and community productions it has a 90% local casting policy with a commitment to developing new actors.

The Company has a new advisary board including Ian Rowlands,Theatr Gwynedd, Elizabeth Ann Evans (ACACC)and Richard Santhiri.
