Community Projects
Norwich Theatre is fiercely committed to working with the wide range of communities in the region. Our Creative Engagment team is involved in arranging and steering a host of cross-community initiatives.
37 Plays
37 Plays seeks to capture and write the stories of our nation. It is open to children, young people and adults, including established, emerging and first-time writers.
Norfolk residents will be supported by Norwich Theatre with playwriting advice and prompts given to those writing a play throughout 2022.
Submissions for 37 Plays will open on 1 January 2023 and close on 31 January 2023.
ENCORE: APPRECIATION AND REWARD

Children’s Theatre Partnership
Children’s Theatre Partnership is producing bold, ambitious and imaginative theatre for the UK stage and young people in local communities. Supported for the next three years by Arts Council England.
Shakespeare Nation
