About us
Who we are
As the principal home of performing arts in the South West, we engage and inspire many communities, creating memorable experiences for people from all backgrounds.
As the largest and most well-attended regional producing theatre in the UK, we present diverse productions on our three stages: The Lyric, The Drum, and The Lab. With a regional audience of over 2.1 million, we employ 300+ dedicated staff, including leading artists and craftspeople, and attract 300,000+ annual audience members.
As a registered charity with a turnover of £15m per annum, we are proudly funded by Arts Council England and receive revenue support from Plymouth City Council as a National Portfolio Organisation.
Our culture and values
Collaboration – We communicate openly, listen and make sure we understand people’s needs. We value and respect the relationships we have with colleagues, artists and partners and celebrate our shared successes.
Creativity – We use our knowledge, experience, and judgement to explore doing things differently. We aim to empower everybody in the organisation to adopt a flexible, open-minded, and imaginative approach.
Diversity – We embrace and value difference and individuality; treating everyone as equally important. Together we are stronger and more effective.
Quality – We take responsibility for and pride in what we do; recognising each other’s good work. We consistently exceed expectations in all that we do and ensure that everyone has the skills to achieve excellence.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We recognise that our success depends upon people. Our long-held commitment to diversity and equality sits at the heart of our organisational values and mission. If we are to be truly special for everyone, then it is incumbent on us to not only have the best and most representative work on our stages and across all our programmes but also to recognise how we recruit, who our partners are; what we prioritise and how we exercise our influence can have real impact and effect change.
We have been working towards equality, diversity and inclusion for many years but the last 14 months helped us to recognise that the changes we have made have not gone far enough. Whilst there is much to celebrate we believe we have more to do to ensure that we are the most diverse and inclusive organisation we can be.
