A professional christian theatre company
https://linktr.ee/risetheatre RISE Theatre is run as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company.

RISE Theatre CIC is a professional Christian theatre company with a passion for delivering exciting, original, transformative theatre. We work at schools, churches, events and festivals across the UK with the aim of inspiring people of all ages to realise their full potential in life. We are passionate about creating:
- faith based stories that spark the imagination and speak to hearts and minds.
- transformative theatre that holds up a mirror to who we are and who we could be.

Through multi-creative platforms we create opportunities for people of all ages to explore their sense of identity and purpose in the world. We continue to engage with a wide range of organisations across the UK, taking part in national tours, commissioned plays, events, festivals, filming, stage work, training, and leading workshops in schools, churches and youth centres.

Rosie and Millie have started their tour of Treasure Within! 🚐

Please pray for them as they go into schools:
🙏 for protection, energy and that they would have loads of fun!
🙏 that the seeds they plant would allow children to see the treasures that Jesus’ love has put in their heart.
🙏 that school communities would be changed as the children and staff learn more about living out Christian principles.

If you’re a school who would like a visit from us in 2027, please do get in touch on [email protected]
