Workie Ticket Workshops
Workie Ticket has a commitment to work within the North East community. We believe the best way to do this is to make our theatre accessible, affordable and relevant. We also provide a wellbeing programme that supports the groups we work with. We are passionate about delivering these workshops that are very closely connected to the themes of our plays. Workie Ticket believe in theatre for social change and making a difference in the communities we work in.
