Teatro came into existence on a rain-soaked Wednesday afternoon in 2011.  Alan had recently left his position as Regional Programme Manager for the National Youth Theatre. With a wish to still continue working with theatre, whilst filling a gap in the market, an idea was born.

It occurred to him there weren’t many avenues available for just anyone with a love of theatre, to gain skills from someone like himself – a professional actor/director from the Royal Shakespeare Company.There should be a place those who want to act, but do not want to join the local Am Dram, can reach out to. Surely he could create this space!

We are now a strong organisation moving to the West Sussex and Bognor Regis/Chichester with charitable status. Proudly working with mixed group of adults post 16 through our Adult Classes, in a life-affirming and joyous theatre activities.
