Celebrating 25 years

Face Front Inclusive Theatre was then born as a project, and began to develop disabled artists and create inclusive touring productions, and participatory programmes.

In 2004, Annie, along with Jon French, Shirley Mason and Catrin Thomas set up as a company and then a charity, with the mission to create original ground-breaking inclusive theatre with disabled and nondisabled artists.

Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength, with major touring programmes going into schools and theatres across London and the UK, and a full participatory programme of disabled young people, adults and intergenerational groups creating their own original plays.

Face Front uses theatre to change lives and improve emotional wellbeing, addressing domestic abuse, transitions, sex and relationships, resilience and inclusion. Diverse and disabled actors who have had training and first employment with us have gone on to work with renowned companies across the world.

None of this would have been possible without the hard work and passion of all Face Front’s staff, artists, trustees, volunteers and of course participants and audiences. We greatly look forward to celebrating our 25th year with you!
