ABOUT US

 

Boots and Moon is a female-led theatre company that creates fun and explorative work for all ages. We combine music, puppetry and storytelling to explore the magic in the world around us.

After training together at Rose Bruford and playing with recycled materials in our home to build Boots and Moon the paper puppets, an idea was formed. Our desire for telling magical stories together became apparent, and the theatre company was created.

Since 2022 we have been delivering creative, sensory focused workshops for young people in Devon. In 2023 we produced our debut production; Finders Keepers. Watch this space for further projects this year.
