Gosforth Civic Theatre’s flagship performance has grown! This year, their annual platform showcasing new work by people with learning disabilities and autism is part of Our Freedom: Then and Now.

Reflecting on what freedom means 80 years after the end of the Second World War. GCT has responded with a show featuring over 60 performers, dancers, musician Kari Macleod, and friends Sing United!

Gosforth Central Hall (before it was replaced by Gosforth Civic Hall) was built as a memorial to “remember the brave people of our town, who gave their lives whilst serving in Her Majesty’s Forces and the Merchant Navy in the war”. This performance piece uses dance, physical theatre and song to celebrate this journey of freedom, to honour its past heritage then and celebrate where we are now, informed by local community.
