Glasshouse Theatre CIC

Glasshouse leverages theatre for social change within the Criminal Justice System. By uniting diverse communities, we use the power of creativity to conduct impactful workshops, produce thought provoking theatre and foster dialogue to reshape perceptions of prison and those affected.

Our vision is to create trauma-informed dialogue about systemic injustice, driving social change through theatre. Glasshouse encourages active participation in criminal
justice reform by holistically engaging all impacted individuals, spanning education, the prison system and the private sector. By challenging individual and societal mindsets, attitudes and misconceptions, Glasshouse hopes to influence radical reform and abolition at policy level.

As an organisation we centre the voices of those with direct lived experience of prison, either through incarceration or frontline work. Founded by ex-Prison Officers, Glasshouse champions the stories often ignored and suppressed, from within the prison walls.
