scenes, everything from hair colouring to head massages”

the performers voices was consistently strong through the piece”

“Through being a part of Steel Valley Beacon I have been able to gain experience which
led me to decide that theatre was the industry I wanted to be a part of, leading me to
choose to do a degree in the subject at university. I believe that SVBA is such a valuable arts
organisation to the community, they are a huge asset to the arts”
