A show by Connect Theatre Company, an inclusive theatre group for adults with additional needs, at the Sunderland Empire.
Connect Theatre Company are taking the stage at the Sunderland Empire on Monday 30 November, with the show starting at 10:00am. It's a morning slot, so it's one of those things you can fit in before the rest of your day gets going.
For those who haven't come across them, Connect is an inclusive theatre group for adults with additional needs. They don't just stick to one part of the process, either; the company works across acting, movement, writing and production, so the people on stage are often the same ones who helped shape the show behind the scenes. It's a proper ensemble setup where the making of the thing is as much a part of the story as the performance itself.
The show is at the Sunderland Empire on High Street West, one of the city's most recognisable theatres. It's right in the heart of Sunderland, a coastal city that's earned its place as a Music City and, of course, home to Sunderland AFC. Having a company like Connect perform in a venue like the Empire puts their work on a big stage, and the morning timing makes it accessible for people who might struggle with a late-night run.
