@OurYear2024 @trwakefield @NationalTheatre Lovely to catch up. Thanks for your support, was brilliant to share the young people's work with you.

So, that's a wrap... completed the last Sleeping Beauty performance at Wakey. Thanks to all the lovely audiences who've been to see the show. And congrats to everyone, on stage and off, who've worked so hard to make it such a success. ❤️

Highly recommend listening to this podcast. Two theatre-makers I really respect - Paul Wilshaw and @runcornchris - talking about representation and panto. Definitely a good investment of 30mins of your time.

[Mind the Gap @MtGstudios]

Our latest Disability and...Podcast is out now!

This month Paul Wilshaw talks to @runcornchris, who's been the Dame at Wakefield Theatre for 13 years, about the representation of disability in pantomimes and how to make them more inclusive.

Amazing opening show last night for the @trwakefield pantomime Sleeping Beauty. Such a great production, I'm really proud of all the team involved in making the show. Sales are also incredibly strong, so seriously do book now - you don't want to miss this panto!

I'm super proud to serve as a trustee of @TheatresTrust. This morning I chaired a committee meeting that considered some really big issues and I was once again reminded what a talented and committed team of trustees we have.

In #TrusteesWeek we want to thank our wonderful Trustees.

As a small charity, our Trustees play a vital role in our work supporting the UK's theatres to be fit for the future
