What Do We Do?
We are a friendly, flexible organisation producing presentations, workshops and shows.
Over the last seven years, MOMO
Theatre has gained an impressive reputation for providing effective, educational and entertaining productions all over the UK.
Much of our experience has been in the area of sustainability and the environment.
But whatever your message and whoever you want to hear it, we can create shows that are highly effective in informing, educating and encouraging behavioural change.
We have performed theatre in schools to
get children enthusiastic about difficult subjects such as healthy
eating. We have provided shows in workplaces to get staff motivated to change their behaviour in areas such as
energy efficiency. We have entertained the general
public stimulating them to thinking about important issues such
as climate change.
We have a large list of comments and testimonials from those who have used us over the years. In short, we provide
shows to be performed anywhere, to make anyone enthusiastic about
any topic!
We are also doing everything we can to be environmentally friendly – like using electricity from renewable energy and using waste chip oil to fuel our vehicle. For full details have a look here.

Company
Policy on Using Theatre as Education
The company believes that to really engage people with any issue,
you must first make friends, and then make the message personal
to their situation.
For an individual to begin learning or changing their behaviour,
they must be willing to learn or change – and there is no
better way to make someone open to your message than by making them
laugh.
Once they are on your side, and can see your message is relevant
to them, both children and adults have a great appetite for information.
