No one makes a show like Above Bounds – because we don't make it, children do!We’re creating a world where every child's artwork and ideas are valued, everywhere. We are a children's theatre company based in Devon. We work with children who are buzzing with creativity, but whose ideas aren’t normally heard. At Above Bounds, children are the creators and directors. We turn their stories and ideas into amazing theatre and artwork with a professional team, and pop up with shows and events in familiar, easy-to-get-to spaces. We tell big stories and small stories in fun, playful and visually innovative ways.

“Everyone's ideas will create a masterpiece!”
“All actors were super friendly and exciting. Took the time to get to know the children and listen to their ideas during the stories. Great hands on learning experience.”
