What does Shoebox Theatre do?

We welcome all who share our aims and interests, as participants and volunteers.

We work to promote interaction between different generations, using theatre games, role-play and storytelling.

We particularly target people who are elderly or disabled, because there are few opportunities locally for them to work creatively.

We provide arts activities and training for "Third Age" volunteers in role play and storytelling.

With our volunteers we devise and lead school workshops which support the curriculum on the social history of Britain and other subjects.

With our volunteers we undertake reminiscence work in residential and nursing care homes.

We work with people living with dementia and use theatre games and reminiscence activities to entertain and encourage them to engage with others.

We have small-scale productions in repertoire suitable for community venues.
