About Open Clasp Theatre Company

Open Clasp Theatre Company is the North East's only professional women's theatre company, with a proven record since 1998. We run drama workshops with local womens and girls groups, and create theatre which is taken to community and mainstream venues across the region. The basis for all our work is the knowledge that drama and theatre can be used as a tool to empower, increasing self-esteem and confidence, leading to personal development and growth. This leads to positive change for those taking part, and the audience members who share the experience.
