Making plans for next weekend?

Well, have we got a show for YOU!

And don’t just take our word for it! You can listen back to theatre maker Paula Varjack talking all things NINE SIXTEENTHS on BBC Radio’s Woman’s Hour, starting 45 mins 16 seconds into the show and if a “pop culture odyssey” sounds like your idea of a good Saturday night out, get booking!

Nine Sixteenths is a journey through 3 acts, exploring themes of representation and pop culture with a nostalgia for the early 00s, and the hopes and dreams of 4 black female performers through a visual variety of devised theatre, dance and lip sync.

Tickets are flying out the door for this show, which has fully integrated BSL, and comes to The Warehouse in Holbeck on Sat 9th May.

Following sell out performances in 2024, Bus Stop Goths is a surreal modern folk tale which centres around alt youth and their sacred outdoor spaces where they reside. It’s a joyfully chaotic celebration if youth expression and identity.

Join celestial beings Sid and Viv as they keep a watchful eye on the streets of Middlesborough.
There are fascinating human beings out there, some are not like the others, they’ve formed their own groups, their own cultures, their own small societies.

What will Viv and Sid discover about these sub-cultures from look in in on them? And more importantly what will they discover about themselves?

“Deeply moving and completely unhinged, the standing ovation at the end of this performance was well-deserved. Bus Stop Goths is a show for the outcasts, and in that hour I’ve never felt more accepted”. NARC Magazine
