The group, run by artistic director, Susan Wallin, gives people with learning difficulties the opportunity to become involved in their community’s culture and reach out to a wider audience through performing arts.
The youngsters were awarded the Peter Mellor Award for their performance of ‘We Are The Dreamers’ earlier this year. The play is based on ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
The Mencap ‘Dare to be Different’ performance takes place on September 15th at 7.00pm.
