Developing a new model of creating and producing theatre that opens up the way performance is made, who makes it and who it’s experienced by. 

Thank you for visiting our Support Us page. As a charity China Plate Theatre relies on donations to create adventurous and imaginative new theatre with popular appeal and a social purpose.

To achieve this, we work with some of the UK’s most talented artists, harnessing their ambition and skill to deliver high quality work. Using performance to engage and inspire, we take shows into theatres, village halls, schools, on to the streets and to festivals in the UK and internationally.

Donations, whether large or small, make a huge difference and listed below are examples of how your support could help China Plate support Artists, Freelancers and Audiences to create, make and access theatre.

The breadth and depth of our programme is due in no small part to the essential support generously provided by Trusts, Foundations and our other long-standing funders.

These organisations play a vital role in partnering with China Plate Theatre to support artists, make new work and reach diverse audiences.
