How wonderful is this ! our studio theatre being admired through fresh eyes, whilst singing any song they desire. It is such a pleasure seeing the young people living their best lives in our theatre. Why not pop down to see the space for yourself.

We were lucky to experience this incredible piece of writing @53two

It’s rare that the voice of young people is captured so candidly, especially in fiction.

The pinpoint accuracy of the young men portrayed is a credit to the writer, and the direction is outstanding. Go see it

Amidst the current chaos happening all around us, we are delighted that our work with young people continues, and that we can share uplifting news stories.

Check out these abstract paintings from our first group of participants on the project. 🤩🌟🤩🥳.

If such wealth of creativity was allowed to flourish in school, perhaps their educational experience would be a little more fulfilling, instead of stifling.

What do you think?
