We (sadly) did not get arts council funding, but we will not be keeping a penny of this money or using any of it to help us make the show. It’s entirely being used to provide access for people who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

The story follows Alex. After a dark event in Alex’s life, her parents force her to go to her an addiction treatment centre. Confused by how addiction relates to her situation, she attempts to work out exactly how she got here.

We are very excited to be bringing our show, "How Did I Get Here?" to the Bread & Roses Theatre between the 20th of August- 7th of September! HDIGH is a piece of new writing & physical theatre that explores the relationship between addiction & mental health in 2024.

We are very proud that we finally produced a 2 week run of Try Harder this year, after years of work. We can't wait to bring some more theatre for young adults in 2023. Watch this space.

[Making Waves Theatre Company @MakingWaves_TC]

This weekend we finished our run of How Did I Get Here in collaboration with @ExeterNorthcott Kickstart Company and we could not be happier with the response. Thank you everyone who came to watch!
