You bring excellence and inclusion together and provide such quality opportunities for the young people to perform new writing on a great platform, without any barriers to participation. Jen Smith, director

The children we work with in our inner city area with multiple challenges, really benefit from Strange Town after-school drama. It allows them to become confident speaking in front of others, solving problems in groups and teams and performing to audiences. It gives them a sense of achievement and pride in what they have overcome to speak and perform confidently. Colin McLean, Headteacher
