Theatre of the Unemployed

Theatre of the Unemployed has proved very popular over the last few years and we see the start of the fourth version in April. The project is open to people from Birmingham who are unemployed and over 50 years of age or have experience of mental health issues or learning difficulties. The project will consist of 13 free drama-based workshops which will look at and explore issues around employment, mental health and age, as well as providing effective exercises that develop interview and communication skills. Participants will create an exciting new piece of theatre throughout the duration of the project, which will culminate with a performance at the Blue Orange Theatre on the 27th July.
