Missions & Values

At the heart of everything we do is our audience. We aim to deliver work that not only meets expectations but continually exceeds them.

Our mission is simple: To create high quality experiences connecting across communities in a sustainable manner.

Create - We create and curate high quality theatre productions, participation experiences and events to inspire, entertain, delight and challenge.

Connect - We connect arts organisations, communities, educational establishments and businesses for the benefit of all.

Sustain - Everything we do will be underpinned by our pursuit of financial and environmental sustainability, safeguarding for the future of Pembrokeshire, Wales and the wider world.

As West Wales’ leading producing theatre, we create and present distinctive, relevant, and accessible work that speaks to our community. Our home-produced drama is the heartbeat of the Torch, defining our identity and driving our success.

We aim to be a creative force in Wales; a theatre that brings people together through bold storytelling, exciting performances, and shared experiences. The Torch Theatre offers a vibrant programme of work, with something for everyone, and a promise to leave people inspired and connected. 

Beyond the stage, our education, outreach, and volunteer programmes champion creativity and inclusion, actively promoting the arts across Pembrokeshire, Wales, and beyond. We aim to pass the flame of the Torch on, inspiring the next generation of artists and audiences. Whether it’s a child discovering the thrill of performance for the first time, a young person finding their voice, or a volunteer feeling part of something bigger, we hope to spark a lifelong passion for the arts in everyone we reach.

Our core values are:

West is Best – Our home in Milford Haven is the start of the line, we are proud of where we are based, and we honour the languages, cultures and people of West Wales.

Croeso/Welcome – We strive to make our activities and buildings accessible and welcoming to all who wish to participate. We celebrate the unique perspectives and skills each person brings with them.

Chwarae Teg/Fair play – We aim to be fair in all we do including anti-racist, anti-ableist and inclusive practices alongside fair pay and working conditions, with transparent decision making.
