Hullabaloo Mission
Theatre Hullabaloo is a pioneering theatre company creating quality work for young audiences. We believe that children deserve work of the highest quality and greatest artistic challenge. It is this challenge that drives us to form collaborations with those working at the forefront of their art form, developing ideas with young people, to create excellent and inventive theatre.
Hullabaloo: (from NE and Scots dialects)
Noisy excitement or fuss. A performance, celebration or other noisy event
A loud noise made in protest. Widespread excitement
An intervention used to hush a child (balloo, as in lullaby)
Hullabaloo Manifesto
Theatre Hullabaloo works to promote the rights of all children to full participation in cultural and artistic life.
Over the last few decades, the UK has developed a progressively ambivalent relationship to its young people. We believe that young people need theatre to help them understand an increasingly complicated world. Our work reaches out to young people with the message that their experience and preoccupations are at the heart of the work we make.
If we are serious about the arts playing a role in making young people feel socially included and valued, we must offer them a rich palette of creativity that at least equals, and often exceeds, the best adults have on offer.
