The West Yorkshire Playhouse

Leeds | Curator / Programmer, Network, Organisation, Performance Venue

We are a creative hub for the city and beyond, a place where people and communities come to tell and share stories; to experience world class theatre that is pioneering, invigorating and relevant. We are dedicated collaborators seeking out the best companies and individual artists locally, nationally and internationally to create inspirational theatre here in Leeds at the heart of Yorkshire. We develop work with established practitioners and find new voices that we believe should be heard, providing a creative space for new writers, emerging companies and individual theatre artists. We make work with national and international ambitions yet we’re locally rooted and our distinctiveness is informed by where we are from. Cultural organisations are vital for growth. By opening up our building, our work and our imagination we will develop theatre across many platforms from large scale spectacle to more intimate performances. We will help transform the way our city is seen. And we will transform the way we see our city, Yorkshire, the world and each other by reaching out to and working alongside communities, schools, businesses and audiences throughout Yorkshire, the UK and further afield. We are an agent for change, enabling people whatever their age or background to develop skills and transform their lives.
