WE WON AN OFFIE!!

We are so proud to announce that we were awarded an Offie in the Industry and Inclusion category for Argos Archives.

We put accessibility at the forefront of this production. All performances were relaxed, offered stim toys and had breakout spaces. This was so we could cater to the neurodivergent members of our audience and reflect the main character’s experiences. As a smaller organisation our ambitions often outweigh our budget, we looked past these limitations and accommodated the needs of everyone involved. We feel honoured to receive recognition for this.
