The Opendoorz North Cotswolds group are taking on red hot challenge - they will literally be on fire walking over hot coals to raise vital funding to support The Theatre's community programme.

What's so special about Chippy Theatre?

This little theatre in Chipping Norton has been at the heart of the community for 50 years, but in the last few years its been focused more and more on using the arts to support and provide opportunity for those in the local community who are in need of support.

Their community projects use art and drama to create real, positive change by working in schools, care-home, parks - anywhere - using drama and the arts to support mental health and promoting inclusion for those who are disadvantaged or marginalised. They even provide free lunches every day of the school holidays for 170 young people as well as getting them involved in their free programme of arts and culture activities at the Theatre.

All this as well as a packed programme of live theatre, music, comedy, film, Take Part classes and of course their much loved pantos!

Every (flaming) step and every pound will help us to support The Theatre.

Thanks!
