Catherine Wheels Theatre Company is Scotland’s most celebrated producer of work for children and young people, having produced 27 new productions in 23 countries over the last 18 years. The company has received 16 awards and 21 nominations. Catherine Wheels shows have toured the globe with original productions, including innovative residencies in New York, when the promenade show Hansel and Gretel took over the entire New Victory Theatre in 2009. The company was the first Scottish children’s theatre company to perform at Australia’s Sydney Opera House, and has now played at the iconic arts venue four times. In 2015 they returned to Arts Centre Melbourne, New Zealand’s Auckland Arts Festival, and The Wallis in Beverley Hills. These repeat invitations reflect the high quality of Catherine Wheels work.
