Founded by Alison Bennett in 2014, Hurrah Hurrah thrives on bold experimentation & gentle rigour. What began as an independent theatre collective has evolved into a cross-disciplinary production company. We are deeply committed to storytelling that grapples with pointy social issues through humour, humanity & beauty.
We are theatre makers, clowns, actors, writers, filmmakers, gamers, designers, movers, poets, dancers, musicians, advocates, and teachers. We are always students.
We are artists.
Mission(s)
Our mission is to make new works of performance that create room for people to engage with pointy social issues through humour and visual splendidness.
Our mission is to make work that doesn't ignore the zeitgeist but isn't bossed around by it.
Our mission is gentle rigour. We are process and craft driven but not at the expense of humanity or heart or fun.
Our mission is humanity, heart and fun.
Our mission is to make shared events, not just things people watch.
Our mission is to celebrate human mess.
Our mission is to defend laughter; as a powerful tool for storytelling and a necessary and overlooked function of societal cohesion.

Vision(s)
Our vision is to make a local theatre for local people that is rigorous, stunning, hilarious, naughty, respectful, humble, outrageous, exciting and most importantly, invites people in. All people. Even the ones who disagree with us. Even the ones who annoy us. And all the ones that don't.
