We’re taking over our home theatre, Bristol Old Vic, with a programme of art, workshops and theatre!
We are Firebird Theatre. We are a family of actors who work as a team and use our voices. We are doing a Takeover of the Bristol Old Vic, and we are going to share:
- Artwork - A brand new artwork about Firebird’s History called “The Story of Firebird”
- Workshops - Firebird members will be leading workshops for other people with Learning Disabilities and groups
- Performances - We’ll be sharing part of the new show we’re working on - a NEW version of The Tempest (and we’ll be joined by special guests)
We’re very excited to share our Firebird History, our Firebird Present and our Firebird Future and we’d love for you to come and join us!
