ABOUT US

What happens when an award-winning singer, writer and educator, and a  classically-trained Shakespearean actor decide to make children’s theatre?

Weaver Line Theatre is the creative partnership of Sally Horowitz and Benjamin Way. They are a theatre and music company creating imaginative, story-led work for children and families.

They are currently developing The Magic Sweet Jar with support from the Marlowe Theatre.

Sally served as Lead Artist for Discover Story Centre’s Mighty Mega Club, delivering performance, storytelling, and craft workshops for children with SEND and their families, with a focus on accessibility, play, and inclusive creative practice.
