The charity is a European touring theatre company based in the Scottish Highlands. The charity commissions, produces and tours new plays by writers from the north of Scotland and elsewhere. Our productions speak to our audiences using some of Scotland's best actors, musicians, writers, directors and designers, collaborating with international artists and partners. The company has extended its reach, now touring across the UK and internationally to a wide variety of venues. With the help of a Creative Learning Officer, the charity receives commissions to plan and carryout workshops and education programmes in schools. Much of our work springs directly from the Highlands' defining characteristics: a stunningly beautiful and harsh natural landscape. a tumultuous and marginalised history. a shifting and changing population. a vibrant oral and musical tradition.

Objectives: From our base in the Highlands of Scotland, to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public particularly by the encouragement of the Arts including the arts of drama, music, singing, storytelling, playwriting, literature and visual arts
