We usually meet up every week to rehearse and have fun, working towards our annual production in July. We like to perform without any support workers on stage, this shows the skills and abilities of individuals with learning disabilities but also what we are able to achieve when we all work as a team. We perform all of kinds of shows and since we started in 2010 we have staged comedies, adaptation
s of novels, plays with lots of songs and even some Shakespeare. Our past productions include Ali Baba, The Jungle Book, Treasure Island, The Odyssey, Robin Hood, Hiawatha and Parrots of the Caribbean! We usually perform our end of year production in July at the Bear Pit Theatre, but we have also performed at Stratford College, Stratford Arts House, Bridgetown School, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, The Swan Theatre, The Courtyard Theatre, in the street, in a tent and in a church. The Company is led by our Director Tony Peters and supported by a fantastic team of volunteers. WEEKLY REHEARSALS
We rehearse most Thursday nights at Bridgetown School, Byron Road, Stratford-upon-Avon between 7pm and 8.30pm, and there is a charge payable for each term. Some of us learn lines, some of us sing, we move and sometimes dance. We may play musical instruments, operate puppets or props and use scenery, but we all join in!
