Own our work
Established in 2014, Barrel Organ is a multi- award-winning touring theatre company. We give a voice to stories that would otherwise go unheard, amplifying the experiences of marginalised and underrepresented groups from across the country.
​
We collaborate with local theatre groups, town councils, charities, and communities, providing a safe and accessible space to create and perform, connect and empower. Although a young company, we have already enjoyed some incredible successes.
As another decade beckons, we at Barrel Organ are determined to reach more people, lift more voices and use the power of the arts to challenge perceptions, uncover creativity and act as a beacon of good practice when it comes to inclusive theatre.
​
And most importantly of all? We want you to help us write this next chapter.
