M6 Theatre

Founded in 1977 and based in Rochdale, M6 Theatre is renowned as one of Britain's leading theatre companies, specialising in creating and delivering dynamic, quality and relevant work for, with and by children and young people.  We create original theatre productions that ignite the imagination, nurture the heart and challenge the mind.  

Weekly sessions take place from their studio theatre which is based on the site of Hamer Primary School in Smallbridge, Rochdale.  

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. 

Our 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 Theatre works in partnership with: Rochdale Borough Culture Network, Rochdale’s Children, Young People and Families Partnership and Rochdale Local Education Partnership (LCEP)
