About Progeny Theatre Company
As part of a module at the University of Lincoln, third years have created theatre companies. Progeny Theatre is a newly established theatre company based in Lincoln. We aim to produce children’s theatre for adults by adapting well known children’s stories and enhancing them through the use of elaborate technical elements.
Progeny Theatre Company’s mission statement emphasises that we exist to change the perceptions and perspectives of those who are familiar with children’s stories. In doing so, we hope to alter the genre of ’Children’s Theatre’, to directly encompass the adult audience. We aim to create theatre, which allows escapism for adults by adapting children’s stories. Our theatre company aspires to create that which has not been seen before through controversial and innovative means, which will be enhanced through use of elaborate set, costume and technical elements.
