Crave Theatre
We are a Theatre Company and Acting Studio created to help performers whose lives have been impacted by a dependence on alcohol or drugs.
We celebrate sobriety within the performing arts industry and provide transformative training and performance opportunities for those wishing to discover, or rediscover a desire to act.
Founded by performers who have themselves recovered from alcohol and drug addiction issues, the shared lived experience within our classes, performances, and like-minded community encourages both personal and professional growth through the craft of acting.
Proudly presented in collaboration with The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Crave Theatre Company
Our Theatre Company provides a helping hand back into acting for experienced performers who previously left the business due to drug or alcohol misuse. We offer a range of refresher acting classes for our company members, and create new, public productions of classical and contemporary plays. Our company's work aims to reignite our performer's love for acting and develop their recovery-informed artistic process.
Crave Acting Studio
As well as providing refresher classes for sober experienced actors, our studio provides acting classes specifically tailored for aspiring actors in recovery. Our classes offer a range of skills and approaches and aim to help those in recovery potentially go on to explore further training or a career in acting and the performing arts. It is our aim that our Studio also creates an achievable pathway towards our Company and public performance.
Crave Theatre COMMUNITY
Founded and led by professional actor and director Gavin Antony, who is himself 10 years clean and sober, our company's ethos, vision and methods have been carefully curated to balance the needs of sober actor and prospective audience. Alongside our recovery engaged rehearsal practices, we strive to recalibrate public perception, remove shame, and promote visibility of sober excellence within the acting business.
SUPPORT US
Help us to Transform Lives
By donating towards our work you will be helping those who have experienced the deep pain of substance abuse, addiction and associated mental health issues including self-harm and suicide attempts.
Our actors not only re-learn how to express themselves artistically but further educate themselves about their self-destructive nature and complex relationship with the world.
Through our empathetic approach our actors learn to self-reflect and self-examine which improves their ability to build emotional resilience and confidence. From this position they are better equipped to re-build their lives and create positive pathways towards new goals.
Any contribution towards our work via a one-off individual donation is greatly appreciated. Or you can become a recurring part of our community and form closer relationships with our creative team and performers by joining us as a Patron.
