Welcome to Tobacco Factory Plus
The Tobacco Factory Theatre is not only a place of performance, but also one of creation, development and learning.
Tobacco Factory Plus is our name for all the other activities that go on here, giving you the opportunity to get involved and get even more out of your local theatre. Whether you’re an audience member, young person or theatre maker (or all three!), TF+ has something for you.

TF+ for Theatre Makers

TF+ for Younger Audiences
The TF is proud of its developing programme of shows and activities for young people. TF+ for young audiences is all about getting young people into the theatre and helping them to get more out their experiences when they’re here, whether they visit us with school, family or friends.
