theatre.
Every year, over 100,000 children discover
theatre at Polka. They may arrive in a school group or with
their families. They may come from London or beyond. They
may take their seats in the Main Auditorium or the Adventure
Theatre, or take part in one of our many drama workshops and
other activities. Whichever, once they step through Polka's
doors, their appetite for high-quality theatre will be powerfully
awakened.
