Theatre for Democracy is about people power.
Information
For 5 days this summer holidays, work with a group of other local young people to explore an issue you all care about and find ways of putting it into drama and theatre.
What we produce over the week we’ll put into a performance that we plan together, to be performed on the Friday, with an invited audience who should be hearing our opinions.
In a society where certain voices are louder than others, speak and be heard.
Please note this programme is for 5 days, and the group will get most out of it if you can be there for all 5 days.
