Our vision

Creating Welsh-language theatre as a place of connection for the well-known and the unexpected, for Welshness and the world, for the big conversations and the joyful moments.

Our mission

A national touring theatre company putting Wales and its people on the map, open and welcoming to all, securing a bright future for our language and our culture.

Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru (Theatr Gen) is the Welsh-language national theatre.

We make theatre for Wales, touring bold theatrical experiences across the nation and beyond, to entertain and inspire people of all ages. Our vision is to create a place of connection for the well-known and the unexpected, for Welshness and the world, for the big conversations and the joyful moments.

We don’t stand still. Our productions – created for and in collaboration with the people of Wales – respond to the world around us and reflect the experiences of contemporary Welsh life, providing a platform for a multiplicity of voices and stories.

We embrace classics and new writing, devised and experimental work, musicals and unexpected collaborations, and theatre for children and young people. We also deliver education, well-being and participatory projects for people in all parts of Wales to experience the transformative impact of creativity in their lives.

We believe the Welsh language belongs to everyone. The future of the language permeates everything we do. We want to see a flourishing and welcoming Welsh-language culture. By nurturing talent, drawing people to the language, and exploring Welshness we are contributing to the future of the language and confidence in its use.

Theatr Gen belongs to you.
