Arts
Based in Portstewart, Co. Antrim, Big Telly Theatre Company is one of the longest standing theatre companies in Northern Ireland and is a recognised charity (XR22007).

Our work is centred around theatre, game, technology, and place. We design professional theatre productions, site specific, live experiential art, immersive games, and participatory community driven projects, throughout Northern Ireland and internationally. With work spanning over 30 years, the company has a reputation for innovation and accessibility. We work across sectors, using arts to deliver objectives for health, education, heritage, tourism, economic development, social development, rural development and town and city regeneration. As a company, we seek to innovate how and where culture is made and performed and how theatre can be used as a tool to regenerate and serve the community to create long term impact. 

We bring world class theatre to small communities in Northern Ireland, and we bring their voices to the world stage.

We are a conduit between rural communities and urban platforms, providing a space for exchange, brokering wider conversations about the local, the global and our place in society.

We are pioneering playmakers, using creativity as a catalyst, and placing people at the centre of our work to provoke thought and explore the possibility of change.

We work closely with communities to establish frameworks which offer new ways to connect. All of our work is interactive, co-created and bespoke, addressing issues of sustainability, accessibility, and diversifying views on cultural identity.

We hijack familiar stories and spaces such as houses, shops, cafes in order to make audiences feel both safe and brave, mixing up traditions with tech to make bold new story worlds with and for the wider community.

We believe in the transformative power of the arts. We believe in this place, in the people who call it home.
