5 reasons you’ll love our indie theatre magazine

Step away from algorithms and endless scrolling. In an increasingly compromised media landscape, we believe print offers the space for critical thinking and new visions of a better world.

People of Theatre is a quarterly independent magazine exploring politics, identity, community and the world around us through theatre, dance and performance.

Growing out of ten years as a grassroots platform, we champion the artists, makers and thinkers you should know about, but whom mainstream media too often sidelines in favour of celebrity-driven clickbait and easy entertainment.

A New Way of Talking About Theatre

People of Theatre isn’t your typical theatre mag. It’s radical, independent, and fiercely community-rooted. No boring reviews. No celebrity interviews. No industry fluff.

Beyond the mainstream

Toward Cultural Wellbeing

Through radical writing and artistic reflection, the magazine inspires conscious living and bold, imaginative action.

No Algorithms. No AI. Just Community.

Voices That Rewrite the Rules

Artists, thinkers, and rebels using theatre to explore class, race, queerness, power, joy, grief and more. Bold, thoughtful work that cuts deep.

Human-Curated. Community-Led.

Built by Community

Every issue is created by artists rooted in community, shaping culture from the ground up, often ignored by mainstream media. It’s made to reach both seasoned theatregoers and new ones through real stories and sharp thinking.

Championing New Voices & Perspectives.

No Algorithms

Inside, you’ll find content that treats us as thinkers, not consumers. Writing that invites reflection, not just reaction.

Perfect for your digital detox

A Movement You Can Hold

The magazine is a physical reminder that thoughtful, radical perspectives matter more than ever; when mainstream narratives fall short and social media wears us down.
