Next Wednesday, Sutton Town Hall in Birmingham will be transformed by a wave of fairy-tale magic and laughter, thanks to a groundbreaking production from the Lisieux Trust.
A Cast Shining With Talent and Determination
The charity, which provides vital support for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, is staging its own vibrant version of Snow White. The production's defining feature is its cast, comprised predominantly of talented performers with learning disabilities, who will be supported on stage by dedicated staff members from the Trust.
This ambitious project is the culmination of an intensive nine-month rehearsal period, with the entire company now buzzing with excitement for their opening night. The commitment shown by the cast has been a source of immense pride for the organisation.
More Than Just a Performance
"We are so proud of them all," said Andy, a representative from Lisieux Trust. "They've worked incredibly hard, and the joy and confidence they've gained through this production has been amazing to see. This isn't just a show; it's a celebration of what people can achieve when they're given the chance to shine."
Audiences can expect all the classic ingredients of the beloved tale—the wicked queen, the magic mirror, the dwarfs, and true love's kiss—but all delivered with the unique warmth, humour, and heartfelt energy that only this cast can provide.
Building an Enriched Community
Lisieux Trust offers care, accommodation, and life-enriching opportunities for adults across Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. Their core mission is to foster happy, enriched lives full of opportunity, independence, and choice.
This pantomime is a powerful embodiment of that mission in action. For those wanting a deeper look, a full programme, created with input from the performers themselves, offers further insight and is available to read online.
The community is warmly invited to come along on Wednesday evening at Sutton Town Hall, to share in the fun, support local talent, and experience the transformative power of inclusive theatre.
