This weekend, The Albany Theatre in Coventry launches their summer festival which will involve more than 2,000 residents in creative arts activities and performances.
Engage Inspire Create aims to attract hundreds of experienced performers and absolute beginners together for a wide range of workshops, taster sessions and showcases to nurture the city’s artistic talents.
Funded by Coventry City Council and the National Lottery through Arts Council England, the initiative aims to give more than 500 people the opportunity to experience different art forms from theatre, dance and music to puppetry, film, and playwriting.
Kevin Shaw from The Albany Theatre has been telling us more: "The response from the community has been fantastic and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved this weekend.
"This is about making the Albany a place where everyone can feel welcome and creative – whether they’re stepping into a theatre for the first time or developing the next stage of their artistic career."
