Too many people are prevented from accessing areas of interest and certain organisations, as they need that little extra care, attention or support when it matters, or they just don't fit in because of perceived preferences. This exclusion can lead to isolation and hidden talents being unrealised.
We all have something to offer and through Cotton Shed Theatre Company, our inclusive values encourage everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background, to access theatre and become a valued member. Contributing to ideas, direction, themes each individual is encouraged to build their confidence and talent under the direction of professional artistic leaders. Every person is involved with acting, music, song and dance, whether they are able bodied and full of confidence, less confident, or even a wheelchair user.
Everyone is welcome.

Since the early day’s of January 2007 when the partnership of three schools had the vision to embark upon the
Cotton Shed project and become a part of London's renowned Chickenshed’s ‘Shedlink’ scheme we have not looked back. We work in a way that values all our members as equals and passionately believe in the power of our method, built on the teachings and support of Chickenshed, but driven forward by the exceptional talents of our Artistic Leaders, our membership is over 100 strong combining musical ability with dramatic interpretation and stunning result.
Cotton Shed has created a number of memorable performances including ’Forgotten’ , ‘Gallery’, 'Believe' and Beauty Manifesto' all available on DVD, and also performed at the Mayor’s gala, together with providing Outreach support and Summer School workshops for our younger members.
Our overriding aim is for both our audience and theatre members to enjoy, be moved and inspired by a performance. We bring together the creative energy of people who would never meet together anywhere, but here.
