Tea Break Theatre
“There’s something about interacting with people in the way we do at Tea Break Theatre that’s good for the brain and different to going to the gym or social clubs.”

What Happens At Tea Break Theatre?
Facilitated by our staff members and associate artists, participants have 6 weeks to collaboratively create their own theatre piece. We encourage self-expression and creative thinking in every session and empower members to participate and contribute at their own pace, creating a welcoming space where everyone’s voice is valued.
Through a mixture of drama games, poetry, movement, music, and a wide range of storytelling techniques, we support our older adults in developing a script that reflects their ideas, experiences, and imaginations.
Our members really enjoy coming to Tea Break Theatre and the sessions even inspired the launch of our Older Adults Touring Company! Click here to view past projects.

Partner With Us
Alongside the sessions, we offer bespoke commissioned projects for public and private sector organisations.
In recent years we have taken Tea Break Theatre to different sheltered housing units across London such as Appleby Blue, Trinity Alms-houses, Frank Wymark House, Ronald Buckingham Court and and have recently adapted Tea Break Theatre for residents at Tayo Situ extra care scheme thanks to Peckham Settlement.
We have also put on intergenerational projects bringing older adults together with local young people.
If you would like Tea Break Theatre in your community, or to work on a project with older adults please contact our Senior Producer natalie@londonbubble.org.uk or call 020 7237 4434.
We would like to thank The Mercer’s Company, Team London Bridge and Southwark Council for their generous support of the project.
