About

Through theatrical magic, Cahoots inspire a sense of wonder, unlock imagination and nurture a love of the arts in children.

Cahoots began in November 2001, conjured into being by Paul Bosco Mc Eneaney and Zoe Seaton to bring wonder back to childhood in Northern Ireland. At a time when children’s theatre was overlooked, they imagined something different—stories laced with magic, maths, illusion and heart. 

Cahoots At Cityside

Cahoots has been based in Cityside Retail and Leisure park since 2020.

With a lot of hard work – and a touch of signature Cahoots’ magic – we’ve spent the past five years transforming a once disused warehouse into a dedicated children’s theatre space where we create and present our work.

From a hotel filled with secrets behind every door, to enchanted forests, the bright lights of Broadway, and even the sunny plains of California, we have transported over 11,750 audience members from their local shopping centre into magical worlds brimming with wonder and imagination.

From whispered tales to spectacular illusions, every performance invites children (and the child still hiding in the grown-up) to believe in the extraordinary.
