Red Rose Chain

Red Rose Chain is a not for profit theatre company based at The Avenue Theatre in Ipswich, delivering a vibrant professional and community programme. For over 20 years, we have put inclusion and accessibility at the centre of our work, providing a needed refuge and giving a voice to the marginalised through high quality arts activities and volunteering opportunities.

Our objectives are:

• To provide free at source, high quality, professionally led drama workshops and volunteering opportunities
• To produce high quality, accessible, professional theatre productions
• To provide high-quality early years projects for underserved families & children
• To give a voice to young learning-disabled actors, adults with disabilities & mental health issues, & life sentence prisoners to create work which challenges society’s views about their potential & the value of their contribution
• To create pathways to creative careers for disadvantaged young people through tailored placements, supporting their journeys & broadening their horizons
• To develop partnerships with leading companies to collaborate on innovative new work & inspire participants.

We also produce critically acclaimed shows that have taken us across Suffolk and beyond, including a residency at the Tower of London with Fallen in Love and a tour to New York Off-Broadway with The Ungodly!
