We are Contact

We are Contact. Fiercely Northern but with an international outlook, we are a theatre and performing arts venue on Manchester’s Oxford Road.

We create and produce our own shows, host tours from some of the best theatre companies in the world and develop the next generation of artists, performers and community leaders.

Like other theatres and arts venues across the UK, our building isn’t open during this period but we are still changing lives and supporting young people through online projects, mentoring and artist networks.
