POPULARITY
The Caravan Theatre serves as a small portable venue and can seat up to 10 people at a time. We bring various evocative, humorous, intriguing 15/20 minute plays to festivals and unexpected locations. The portable theatre was created in 2015 and designed by Rosa Sijben. This is the story of how it all started and what it will hopefully bring to the near future as part of an upcoming partnership with Small Truth Theatre. A portable bundle of joy with an incredible amount of collaborators to thank.
