Half Moon Young People’s Theatre aims to produce and present professional theatre for and with young people that informs, challenges and shapes their artistic potential, placing these creative experiences at the core of our policies and practices.

Half Moon has two main thrusts of activity:

• producing and presenting professional theatre at the base, in venues and in youth and schools settings
  
• providing an extensive participatory programme including youth theatres, school and community projects.

The company principally serves London and works exclusively with young people from birth to age 17, placing a particular emphasis upon engaging those often excluded in terms of culture (ethnicity) and ability (disability).

Annually over 32,000 individuals participate in the full range of activities, 60% of users are from Black and Ethnic Minority groups, 59% are female and 10% are disabled.

Half Moon is a regular funded client of Arts Council London and Tower Hamlets, with further financial support from many trusts and foundations and commercial sources.
