Unlocking the power of words
Poetry In Action is an innovative touring theatre company with an enduring dedication to unlocking the power of words for everyone!
We create professional theatre performances based on poetry to demonstrate the power and beauty of language to our audiences. Our dynamic mode of theatre has seen our emergence as one of Australia’s most extensively travelled theatre companies, with our expanding geographical footprint now bringing poetry to life for thousands of young audience members across metropolitan, regional and remote Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. We aim to positively impact audiences and foster an articulate, expressive and creative world. If you don’t see your location give us a call – we’d love to try and make it work for you!
Now in our 20th our teams are excited to continue discovering more horizons than ever before! Will you join us?
