Is one of the very few drama companies that produce and perform for children. Polka Theatre was originally opened in 1979 (36 years ago). It has as many as 90,000 child audiences that come to see the performances per year, in many cases introducing many children to the world of theatre.
“Polka strives to stir the emotions, spark the imagination and, most of all, entertain.”.

The theatre company seem very dedicated and very determined to interest young children so that hopefully one day those children can be performing on a stage. It’s rather interesting to see how many children go to the theatre in a year and also how many children can be inspired by the theatre that they see at Polka.
In the theatre there are two performing spaces, the main theatre and also the adventure theatre. The Adventure theatre is there so that younger children (3– 6) have a pleasant introduction to theatre and also that they feel comfy watching the performers.
“Our mission is to spark the imagination and fuel a sense of discovery in children from every background. We do this through thrilling world-class theatre and a creative programme of learning, in a welcoming and stimulating environment.”
This goes to show that Polka have such a huge determination and a huge goal to interest the younger generations and I think that it’s good to see that there are companies that exist today that allow children to be interested at such young ages. Personally I think this because I didn’t go to anything like this when I was younger and I believe that the more successful the company is then the more they are allowing younger people to become intrigued with the industry.
