M6 Theatre is one of England’s leading theatre companies, specialising in creating work for, with and by children and young people. Our mission is to share world class theatre as a powerful learning tool to nurture the hearts, challenge the minds and ignite the imaginations of young audiences, participants and their grown-ups.
Rooted in Rochdale since 1977, our core values of equity, diversity and inclusion are central to all our work, which is driven by a passionate belief in the unique power of great theatre to enrich, inspire and even transform young lives.
M6’s highly acclaimed productions tour nationally and internationally to theatre venues and festivals, and locally to schools and community settings. The company’s rich programme includes inspiring and highly visual shows for young audiences and compelling short single voice plays for older audiences.
M6’s year-round participatory programme provides opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds to participate in high quality and accessible theatre-arts activities. These take place at M6 Studio Theatre as well as schools and community settings within Rochdale Borough.
M6 is affiliated to the Independent Theatre Council (ITC), Equity, Assitej UK, Theatre Green Book and PIPA. We are members of GMAST and are a disability confident employer.
