Making Theatre Gaining Skills aims to improve people’s life chances by opening pathways to employment. They support those who are excluded from the labour market due to disability, social isolation, lack of qualifications, mental health problems, and/or learning difficulties, aged 19 years and over.
Up to around 12 people take on the roles of technicians, set builders, administrators and stage crew, working around the production of a short theatre play for children. They don’t need to have any prior theatre or arts experience as the focus is on transferable employment skills.
