AbOUT US
Created and led by Emma Rice, Wise Children launched in April 2018 and is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. Based in the South West, we make ground-breaking work with exceptional artists, and tour across the world. In the dark days of 2020, we led the field in live streaming, becoming the first UK company to broadcast a fully staged production, without social distancing, from a UK theatre after lockdown.

THE SCHOOL
Alongside our shows, we run a unique professional training programme, The School for Wise Children. Led by Emma, and her award-winning collaborators, the School for Wise Children offers workshops, courses and other opportunities for fearless, free-thinking theatre makers and emerging companies.

THE CLUB
The Wise Children Club is our community: a growing group of allies who support our work and share ideas and dreams. Right now, as we face uncertain and difficult times, we need the Club more than ever!
It costs £10 a year to be a member.
But joining the Wise Children Club isn't just about the money! Club members are our ambassadors - online and in person. They spread the word, bring new people to our shows, and look for opportunities for Wise Children to grow as a creative force for good!
You might also be inspired to know that everyone who works for Wise Children (from those who tread the boards to the Board itself) joins the Club and donates to the company. If you'd like to join us, you can do it here
