Who we are

Libellule Theatre creates high quality theatre experiences for children which open up young imaginations, inspire curiosity in the world and develop learning opportunities in creative and magical environments. We are passionate about creating beautifully crafted theatre to enrich the lives of young children and families from all backgrounds by taking performance into communities and non-traditional venues, making it accessible and open to all.

Originally founded by Louise Clark in 2009, Libellule is now a creative collaboration of northern based artists working together to bring original stories and experiences to children and families.

We believe theatre for children and families should be theatre for everyone.

In the words of Tony Graham...

“It can take an infinite number of forms but theatre for young audiences, if it’s to be any good, must by definition be theatre for all of us. We live in the same world as children. It’s no less complex and baffling for children than it is for the rest of us...To be good enough for children, it has to be good enough for the rest of us.” - Tony Graham, Artistic Director at Unicorn Theatre [1997-2011]
