Funny Onion is a theatre company that seeks to promote and nurture new and emerging creative talent - writers, composers, musicians, directors, designers, performers, stage managers, technicians and administrators.
Experience is a valuable commodity – tough to acquire but easy to trade when you have it – and we aim to group experienced creative practitioners with those who are just starting out in order that everyone might benefit from both the wisdom of the established and the innovation of the unseasoned.
Through these associations we will produce seamless theatre that is accessible to real people of all ages. We will use existing and found spaces to immerse our audiences in complete and detailed worlds.
