New Perspectives is an East Midlands-based touring theatre company, which specialises in presenting original, and often challenging, live performances to rural and community audiences. As advocates for regional talent, we also provide career-defining training and mentoring opportunities for regional theatre artists at all levels.. We place audiences at the centre of all we do.

Why the community needs us

We present live performances in the heart of wide-ranging communities, making theatre accessible, affordable and within everyone's reach. We engage with audiences who might otherwise miss out, introduce people to live performance for the very first time and bring communities together by making theatre relevant to people where they live. We tour nationally with a strong commitment to the East Midlands across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Leicesteshire and Rutland.

Our impact on the community

We make a difference by touring theatre that reaches out, inspires, sparks debate and entertains. Removing barriers of location, age, culture or socio-economic status fuels our ambition to bring audiences into close contact with the highest quality work. Our performances and projects resonate with artists and audiences alike. Together we contribute to the creative professional development of regional artists, and embrace, enrich and help revitalise communities in the locations we visit.
