Our Purpose
Act Too welcomes performers and audiences of all ages. Whether you are a young person exploring theatre and performance for the first time or an experienced actor looking to take your discipline in a new direction, Act Too is an alternative home for performance development in Melton Mowbray. Our immersive workshops explore a range of themes and techniques. We explore writing, devising, and theatre making at every level - for education or entertainment. Our “Take up the Space” method is a brand-new theatre making technique. We have an open (stage) door policy, with opportunities for all abilities. We support and promote new work and creative collaborations.
Act Too for education, for entertainment, for fun.
