Theatre Hullabaloo's Theatre Firsts

Twine Event Launch

The North East's Twine Event Launch took place on Thursday 20^th June 2013 at the Assembly Rooms, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Twine helps touring theatre companies in the North East to develop entrepreneurial and creative ways of growing and developing by forging relationships with a range of organisations and individuals and to ensure that those companies continue to flourish. The 5 companies involved are: Theatre Hullaballoo, Northumberland Theatre Company, Théâtre Sans Frontières, Unfolding Theatre & The Empty Space. All involved are working together to fundamentally change the way touring theatre companies sustain themselves, and the relationships they have with their audiences.

The five companies are passionate about touring theatre and the benefits it can bring to its audiences. As a result each company had to present a ‘gift’ to share with the others Our gift was the Launch of the Theatre Firsts Campaign which is designed to celebrate the importance of theatre firsts, by asking people to share their memories of their first theatre experience.

Here are a few of the most outstanding contributions to the Theatre First Campaign:
