Purple Theatre in Derby

We celebrate non binary values in race and gender through performance and art.

Purple Theatre look to joyously spread the message of inclusivity and positivity through art, culture and engagingly entertaining theatre.

Our aim is to always achieve excellence in all we do and create a recognised platform for people of colour, gender queer and LGBTQ+ artists and audiences. We started as Purple Theatre in Derby but now reach out across the nation. We go into the community with workshops and shows across the country.

We are proud to announce that BOXES will be appearing at 

Tara Arts Centre London July 23

We have appointed our first Board of Trustees and are excited about the skill they will bring to the company.
