Libellule Theatre was founded in 2006 by Artistic Director Louise Clark. The company is rooted in a strong belief in the personal experiences and educational benefits that theatre, and the freedom to be creative within the medium, can offer. It is also firmly based in the belief that all children should have access to theatre and the performing arts from an early age.
