'Dignity: The Fight Goes On' is now on sale at Gordon Craig Theatre and can be booked here: https://everyonetheatres.com/whats-on/herts-inclusive-theatre/

Dignity: The Fight Goes On is a devised collaborative production with our Ignite Stevenage and Activate Ware theatre groups for disabled young people and adults, based on their own experiences.

Based on a previous play about Disability Rights that participants of HIT performed in 2012, it is a joyful, thought-provoking show that asks how far we have come since then… and how much has really changed?
We will also be screening original short films created by our Activate Watford group, in partnership with Inclusivity Films

Everyone is welcome! Get ready to laugh, dance, crusade and party with us as we join the Disability Pride movement!

This will be a Relaxed Performance and suitable for all ages. We hope to see you there!

Many thanks to St Albans Council for having us and our Sensory Corner at the Spring Festival Last weekend; it was a pleasure to create the Access Guide for the event, and provide a break away from the festivities for those who needed it;
One mum wrote to us:
"What a wonderful safe space to have at a public event! It helped make this inclusive and accessible to my neurodivergent children to have some 'recovery time', and then be able to rejoin the festival.
Thank you so much for having such an important, accepting and welcoming space for this part of our community."
