Chickenshed is a theatre company. Using its unique inclusive creative process, the company has created and produced more than 1000 performances since it started in 1974.
It runs Childrens and Youth Theatre workshops for 600 people, education courses for over 100 students, community outreach projects and a network of satellite Sheds across the country (and one in Russia).
Chickenshed produces full-scale performances with casts of over 250 and a 20-strong band; intimate studio pieces, spotlighting solo performers; original works devised by the company through workshops; adaptations of classic plays and stories; pioneering dance with unique movement; and melodies and lyrics composed by Chickenshed underpinning them all.
Each month it provides live jazz in its bar on a Friday evening, and
occasionally other music on Thursday or Sunday evenings.
