Wan Smolbag Theatre is a non-government organisation based in Vanuatu but operating all over the South Pacific. We started as a group of 15 voluntary actors in 1989, then 5 paid actors, and we're now approaching our 20th anniversary with a staff of around 100 full- and part-time staff and over 200 volunteers.

Coupled with structured workshops facilitated by actors, the organisation uses drama to inform, raise awareness and encourage public discussion on a range of contemporary health, lifestyle, environment and governance issues.

WSB is funded by international donors and runs programmes in Education, Environment, Governance, Health and Youth issues. These can address every imaginable theme from waste management and electoral rights to domestic violence and AIDS.

We produce plays, films, teaching resources, radio programmes and more - for the full range see Products. We also offer our expertise in these media on an ad hoc commercial basis. See Services.
