A little about us
More than a show.
A shared adventure.
We bring together three things we love: children, theatre and the English language.
Golden English Theatre grew from a simple idea: learning a language can be a living, joyful experience. Through familiar stories and imaginative performances, we invite children to discover English beyond the page.
Our actors encourage young audiences to join the action, help the characters and become part of the story. Each production speaks to a different age group and stage of learning.
Usually at your school. Always open to new stages.We also perform in other venues. Tell us about your space and your audience, and let’s explore the possibilities.
