We are a Norfolk-based theatre company dedicated to using the creative arts to promote physical and mental health and wellbeing. Our offerings include high-quality theatre productions, engaging workshops, and rejuvenating creative retreats. Join us in celebrating the transformative power of the arts!
Founding and Mission
Founded by Gretel Brice in 2018, Orange Elephant Theatre Company (OETC) aims to use the creative arts to foster physical and mental health and wellbeing. Our amazing founder, Gretel Brice, the visionary behind OETC, left a lasting impact through her artistic endeavors. In 2020, following a courageous battle with cancer, Gretel passed away. During her illness, she created a deeply personal show, “Some Things Are Meant to Be, Anna,” which she proudly presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival before touring locally in Norfolk.
Our Commitment
OETC is committed to championing the arts in the East of England and spreading positivity to communities through our theatre productions, creative workshops, and retreats. We believe the arts have the power to unite people, inspire creativity, and promote healing. As part of our commitment to giving back, we donate a percentage of our ticket sales to relevant charities, ensuring our success benefits the broader community. OETC stands as a testament to Gretel’s legacy, sustained by her two talented daughters, Megan and Matilda, both professional actors, alongside Creative Director Michelle Thompson and Associate Artist Charlie Randall.
