Latest News .................... The innovative 2-week Work Experience project delivered in collaboration with 17 Y10 Drama students from Hope Valley College has been an incredible experience for all concerned. The students worked with Artistic Director, David Shimwell and two Brief Candle actors, Fran Larkin and Grant McAlister to produce a devised drama addressing homophobia, sexuality and attitudes towards difference for audiences of KS 3 students. We will post more about this project very soon. There is lots to say! .................... We are delighted that two projects for the coming months have bene confirmed this week. We will be producing 4-Ever? for Derbyshire and Derby City's Sexual Health and Relationships T.I.E. provision once again. This year we will tour for 16 weeks in the county and city schools. Also, Pushed, our drama for Year 8 students investigating Anti-Social Behaviour and promoting positive behaviour and commuinity involvement has been re-commissioned to tour again later in the year. .................... Tight is coming to the end of a ten-week tour of Derbyshire Secondary Schools. Responses to this year's production have been fantastic and we are extremely grateful to our fantastic cast - Richard Crehan, Sarah-Lee Dicks, Stephanie Greer and Dean O'Sullivan. ....................
