Theatre Antidote is a recognized and firmly established young people’s theatre in Cyprus. Antidote offers a vibrant and diverse arts program from our base in Larnaca and in schools and other venues across the island. We produce theatre with and for young people from 2yrs and up. All our work is delivered by working in partnership with young people, their teachers and with artists across the spectrum.

Antidote aims to develop potential and creative ambitions, regardless of ability, through celebrating the cultural diversity of Cyprus. This is achieved through four areas of work: producing professional theatre, writing original children’s plays, facilitating theatre workshops for children and youth and finally training school teachers through specialized ‘drama in education’ programs.

Each year Antidote educates and entertains thousands of children across the island, enabling them and their families and teachers to participate in the magic world of theatre.

Foundation for Children and Young People's Arts

As of 2010, Theatre Antidote is recognised as part of the Foundation of Cultural Creativity for Children and Young People. This foundation is based at Apothikes, St.Lazarus, which Antidote also now uses as a base, and as a workshop and production venue. 

This has allowed us to offer much more in the year 2010-2011. We are excited to offer many more public performances, and three mini-festivals showcasing our work over the last few years (One in Larnaca, Nicosia, and Limassol).
