WELCOME 2019 brings an exciting time for The Garage where we will be celebrating our 15th year, more of that to come in the spring. This season holds a treat, whether you’re looking to participate in a class or watch some great new theatre. If your New Year’s resolution is about being more active or seeing some more culture, you can find something in this brochure. There is great theatre with I Would Like To Get To Know You (p.3) presented by Feral Foxy Ladies & Kaleido Film Collective, excellent music by Nick Harper (p.7) and the outstanding comedy of Carl Hutchinson (p.6). If you’re looking to be more active why not try one of our new fitness classes, I can often be found at Kettlercise wielding a kettle bell trying to keep fit - come and join me!

FOUNDATION PROGRAMME

Look forward to seeing you soon!

I’m really excited to tell you that our Performing Arts Foundation Programme (p.16), for college leavers, will be creating a show to take to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to kick start their course. So if you know somebody who is looking for a foundation level performing arts course, why not send them our way to take part in this fantastic opportunity.

MONDAY 4 FEBRUARY 7.30PM Sealionwoman, who released their debut album Siren in October 2018, is comprised of jazzinfluenced vocalist Kitty Whitelaw and double bass player Tye McGivern. The stripped-down duo line-up of Sealionwoman coalesced around Whitelaw’s rich and beguiling vocal and McGivern’s atmospherically inventive approach to his instrument.

A defiantly uncategorisable sound was born, equally informed by melancholic soundscapes, torch-song transgressions and rapturous drama.

With a plastic compass and Dad’s ashes at her side, Rory sets off in the footsteps of all the dead beardy explorers before her, to get Dad to the North Pole. Before Mum finds out they’ve gone.

Set against a backdrop of journalistic misinformation and broken morals, journalist Annie and divorcee Beth have their friendship put to the ultimate test, when Annie encourages Beth to embark on an affair with husband Carl.

When Beth’s ex-husband, John, appears, the surfacing of a dark secret puts Annie’s plans in jeopardy.

RY O T S S ’ L CAR WEDNESDAY 6 MARCH 7PM A group of teenagers wake up in a forest with no clue how they got there. They find themselves separated into two different teams, but have no idea what game they are expected to play. With no food, no water and seemingly no chance of escape, it’s only a matter of time before things start to get drastic. But whose side are people on and how far will they go to survive? This is a play about human nature, the tribes we create and cannibalism.
