Covid Closure

Founded in 1977 Arena was the first professional touring Theatre In Education company in Bedfordshire. When on tour we perform twice a day, five days a week in schools, village halls and theatres: audiences averaging 1500 a week. We work right across the school age range and perform in mainstream and special schools. We tour Beds, Bucks, Herts, Northants, Oxfordshire, in fact anywhere we can get home from the same day.

Our Aims

  • Arena aims to empower children through Theatre in Education.

  • Promote, maintain, improve and advance education, particularly by the encouragement and appreciation of the arts, including drama.

  • To be an aid to literacy and a resource for schools.

  • We aim to provide special schools with fully funded performances.

  • Entertain young people: people learn quickly if they are enjoying themselves.

  • Continue to be the number one Children's Theatre and T.I.E. company in our area.

Has it really been two years since we toured Oscar Wilde's beautiful children's story "The Selfish Giant"?
Covid has certainly changed all our lives.
We made the decision not to tour 2021/22 because going to as many schools as we do we couldn't guarantee the actor's safety from covid.
We hope to be touring again at some point this year, probably towards the end of 2022.

The Selfish Giant

The Selfish Giant was a successful and very well received production. We were looking forward to the next production but the lockdowns put life on hold. Let's hope this year is the turning point for Theatre in Schools.
