About Prologue

From the ash of every closing curtain, a new show is born. Prologue is a performing-arts house built on the belief that theatre begins anew each time.

Across two decades we have staged plays, produced films, music and television, and taken part in local and international festivals. Today we return with a renewed identity and stories yet to be told.
