Spinning Wheel Theatre launched in 2011, and has always been committed to touring across East Anglia visiting village and town halls, arts centres and theatres with our professional productions.
Alongside our touring work, we run education and engagement projects with young people, families and community groups.
With each project we create, we work with a talented group of collaborators including actors, creatives, facilitators, craftspeople and industry mentors.
From 2017-2018 we were an associate company of the Mercury Theatre in Colchester.
This year, we’re delighted to be associate artists of the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich.
