Actors Touring Company is a portable portal to the world. Through our work, we connect global artistic voices to local communities across the UK and beyond.
ATC is the UK’s leading theatre producer of international plays. We source, commission and produce work from around the world and from the global cultures that exist within the UK. We create dialogue between here and the rest of the world, amplifying voices that have often been overlooked in British theatre.
We explore global systems experienced at a human level: who gets to speak, who is seen, and who is centred. We are passionate about giving voice to the ‘outsider within’, turning barriers into bridges, and taking storytelling and theatre everywhere, for everyone.
Our work is made possible with the support of Arts Council England, Cockayne Grants for the Arts, Royal Victoria Hall Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, John Ellerman Foundation and the Wates Foundation.
