Thankful for this show and how we got it together in 3wks, the cast, the creative team & @polkatheatre made something special. I'm especially thankful to the folks who contribute to the Curtain Up Initiative that allows schools to come to the theatre for free. The BEST audiences!

Our pupils had a fantastic opportunity to visit the Polka Theatre to watch a powerful play that beautifully tied into their PSHE learning. The performance sparked discussions around empathy, emotions and making positive choices. #Enrichment #Theatre @thesteptrust
