Riding Lights Theatre Company is one of the UK’s most productive and long-established independent theatre companies. Founded in York in 1977, partly through the initiative of a city-centre church, the company continues to take innovative, accessible theatre into all kinds of communities far and wide.
Our aim is to create unforgettable, entertaining theatre in response to current issues and the hopes and fears of the world we share. While the company’s roots are in a Christian ethos, our work is open to everyone, using faith as a springboard to explore all aspects of life.
Regular tours of new and devised work by Riding Lights have established a huge network of non-theatre venues across the UK, attracting large, loyal audiences not necessarily accustomed to traditional theatre, and addressing issues such as fostering and adoption, terrorism, science and faith, social responsibility and safe water provision.
Riding Lights has always produced inspirational theatre for young people, including annual Christmas tours for primary-age children and their families.
The company is dedicated to providing educational opportunities, through its annual Summer Theatre School and Acting Up! Youth Theatre for young people with additional needs or disabilities.
