Founded
in 1977 Arena was the first professional touring Theatre In Education
company in Bedfordshire. When on tour we perform twice a day, five days
a week in schools, village halls and theatres: audiences averaging 1500
a week. We work right across the school age range and perform in mainstream
and special schools. We tour Beds, Bucks, Herts, Northants, Oxfordshire,
in fact anywhere we can get home from the same day.

Has
it really been two years since we toured Oscar Wilde's beautiful children's
story "The Selfish Giant"?
Covid has certainly changed all our lives.
We
made the decision not to tour 2021/22 because going to as many schools
as we do we couldn't guarantee the actor's safety from covid.
We hope to be touring again at some point this year, probably towards
the end of 2022.
