• Solent Peoples Theatre exists to create, through the use of theatre (and related participatory
  activities), opportunities for the peoples of the greater Solent region, and beyond, to engage with issues that
  are significant in their lives.

• The Company believes that it is the duty of a 'Peoples' theatre to challenge the passivity and alienation,
  which characterise many contemporary cultural activities. We aim to do this by both exploiting the aesthetic
  possibilities of the live moment and combining the twin purposes of education and entertainment in order to
  affect meaningful cultural interventions in the lives of those it reaches.

• Our performance events are not only created in and for communities, they are also a means of forging community
  through cultural action.

Solent Peoples Theatre is an agent for improving the quality of life of Solent peoples, encouraging a transformation
from passive consumers to active citizens.
