🚨 MANCHESTER THEATRE FOLK 🚨 Please help us out. We open THE HUMAN VOICE this Wednesday and runs until Friday at Thd King’sArms, Salford. We've in need of reviewers to come watch the show. All but one who have committed are now unable to watch. Please RT or get in touch if this is you.

As NPOs now have a timetable for the next round application in 2025, what are the venues that get artist support right? We’ve had various iterations of this since I’ve been around @contactmcr.bsky.social but I’m interested in examples of those smashing it?

The other half has offered to bake something for me this week. I need gluten free suggestions for amazing baked goods please!!

Favourite day of the year today @agencychange.bsky.social Community day in Harpurhey! Young people wanting to make a difference in their community with some amazing projects! Looking forward to seeing them develop!

Busy week culminating in a busy night tonight! A full building tonight with the team working flat out, full of joy! Now… a wine with the doggo

It’s been a whirlwind week and I’ve not quite got in the rhythm of having another channel to post on, but I have been enjoying! So far this week I’ve been to the English National Opera in GM launch and the opening of Prism Festival at Sale Waterside! Tomorrow is the MCR Culture Awards 🤞🤞

During the winter months I usually spend time rewatching The West Wing, it’s my happy place… however, it’s only mid November and I’ve already watched it in its entirety.

🍷NEW SHOW!🍷 DADDY'S FIRST GAY DATE (Work in Progress) as part of @storyhouselive Queer festival 2025. Tickets on sale now (link in bio). An uncomfortable restaurant break-up becomes a pressure-cooker first date in this new comedy by Sam Danson, directed by the award-winning Rikki Beadle-Blair.

Tonight’s viewing so far has consisted of Saving Mr Banks, and now just started Mary Poppins

We're building a starter pack for people professionally interested in arts and culture in the UK - who are we missing? Don't be shy - tell us you're here! go.bsky.app/R64pED1

Folks in arts participation, youth theatre, young people’s advocacy, co-creation - who are you? Reply to this thread with a hello - I’ll turn it into a public list and let’s try and build a little community here.

Had a great last night with at Face Festival . Today was meant to be lunch with with friends but sadly had to reschedule. This means that I have to eat all the food I’ve made 🤤
