Pericles Theatre Company creates theatre projects with adults with learning disabilities. Participants are involved in all aspects of the production from designing and making costumes, masks, props and set through to acting on stage, stage management, fundraising and production. We believe that we all deserve to shine in what we do and to be a valued and respected member of our community. Our productions are full of life, colour and delight.
