Theatre experiences enrich children’s lives: they fire the imagination, soothe and stimulate the senses, engage and absorb attention, stoke curiosity, and support relaxed and playful interaction with the environment. It is a child’s right to relax, play, and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities, including theatre.
At Replay Theatre Company, we are passionate and skilled in the art of creating quality theatre experiences for younger audiences: for more than 30 years we have worked with children of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, delivering innovative and increasingly inclusive productions and tours. We are proud to have grown this special portfolio here in Northern Ireland: our children deserve only the very best.
OUR VISION Enriching the lives of young audiences in Northern Ireland and beyond through valued, world class theatre
OUR PURPOSE Replay’s purpose is to create world class theatre especially for young audiences, because it is every child’s human right to have their lives enriched through the arts
Our Background
Replay Theatre Company has been making theatre adventures for younger audiences since 1988. We develop and tailor our work to engage and inspire four key audiences under the age of 19: from tiny babies in our early years programme, to primary school age children of all abilities and backgrounds, to teenagers journeying into adulthood, and children and young people with diverse, complex, and often multiple disabilities.
While we deliver our productions in a range of public places – community settings, schools, at festivals, and in partnership with commercial venues – children are always at the centre of our process and purpose. We work hard to bring our shows into spaces that children of all ages and abilities can access and encounter a truly authentic and high quality theatre experience, even those who, for whatever reason, need to stay in their beds.
