ABOUT SHOOT FIRST
Formed in 2015, and led by Roberta Bellekom, Shoot First Theatre is a young company dedicated to creating exciting, playful new works with strong story telling at their core. With a strong base in devising and physical comedy and a love of puppetry and powerful musical scores we aim to make theatre that we are passionate about. Our work comes from the stories that excite us and capture our imaginations.
