Theatre


Knowledge, Creativity & GUIDANCE

Theatre is where we started. Bringing together technical departments and disciplines to meet your vision. Creating a seamless performance is what we do best.

For a great service, you not only need great equipment, but a team of theatre professionals who are skilled advisors, practical thinkers and creative minds. We founded 1stintheatre because we had assembled a team of highly skilled technical practitioners, who all shared 1stintheatre’s goals and values, and we wanted to make this team available to as many groups, societies and companies as possible.

The team we have built, can collaborate under the most immense time pressures whilst upholding our extremely high standards and aspirations. Working with the knowledge of what can be achieved with what is available, all of us at 1stintheatre have delivered incomparable support with unending creativity time and time again.
