The 'Polka Theater' is one on the few venues in the UK which dedicates their performances and shows for young audiences. They opened in 1979 and since then they've been creating exciting theatre that entertains children.
Over 90,000 children a year visit the Polka Theater, often for the first time ever. Their shows aim to spark the kids imagination whilst mostly entertaining at the same time.
Their venue has 2 theatre spaces, the main theatre, and the adventure theatre, which have been designed so that the children's first taste of theatre is welcoming and relevant.
The 'Polka Theater' has a range of children from the ages of 0 - 14 years. This theatre company aims to make theatre a natural part of the children's lives. Up to 800 children visit Polka every day and Polka introduces thousands of children from disadvantaged backgrounds to theatre for the first time every year.
Polka is a registered charity and according to the site, without subsidy and the generosity of their donors, their average ticket price would increase from £9 to £25!

Researching about other Theater's gives me a broader image of what it's like to work with different people, therefore I think that it allows me to develop myself when working with many people, and also gives me the chance to see how I'd have to present to different people when working with them.
