At Barbican Theatre Plymouth, our work is shaped by a passionate and dedicated team who believe in the power of performance to bring people together. Whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the community, each person plays a vital role in creating meaningful experiences.  

Every performance, project, and partnership is made possible by a dedicated group of professionals, freelancers, and volunteers who bring diverse skills and fresh perspectives to everything we do.

Unlike large institutions with rigid hierarchies, we operate with adaptability at our core - meaning each team member wears multiple hats, making us agile and responsive to the needs of our audiences, artists, and communities.
