welcome With winter snapping at our heels, it’s time to look ahead to the treats waiting in 2015. New for the New Year will be our pre-season scratches, an opportunity for you to see performances so fresh, they’re still in development! These sneak peeks are free to attend and all we ask is that you share your thoughts with the performers afterwards.

As always, our new season brings you some of what’s best about the Edinburgh Fringe, with a glorious medley of award winners: The laughout-loud comedy musical I Need a Doctor: The Whosical; the deliciously dark (and very naughty) Fleabag and the devastatingly uplifting Every Brilliant Thing. All of this wrapped up in a perfect parcel of great shows for children and families to enjoy together. My tip is don’t miss a Saturday trip to A Strange Wild Song – its physicality will take your breath away!

as ever with activities for every age, stage and interest, all led by our fantastically talented team of professional artists. New this season is Scooby’s Street School, fun-filled sessions for 7–11s during half-term.

Behind the scenes we are busy raising money to update the facilities that you have told us will make your experience better. Our target of £350,000 will mean we can open up and update the café area and box office, improve seating and equipment in the theatre, and build new changing facilities. It’s a big task so if you can help by making a donation (see page 19 for how to donate) or organising a fundraising event, please get in touch.

Darren Grice Chief Executive

Of course, we mustn’t forget that The Garage is the place to come to take part in performing arts. Our class programme is as jam-packed

pre-season scratch performances Nurturing and investing in new talent is a vital part of what we do. We support innovative companies to develop new performances right here in Norwich. This is your chance to be the first to see two new works in progress by Strawberry Blonde Curls and Rhiannon Faith:dancingtheatre following residencies in our studios. Performances are free, but do make a donation to the artist if you like what they do and stay around after to tell them what you think!

Friday 23 January 7.30pm Strawberry Blonde Curls presents

Strawberry Blonde Curls will present a work-in-progress performance of TANJA. This one-woman drama is inspired by the true-life events of a detainee, Tanja. Set in her room at Yarl’s Wood, this is her story, her life, her love of Roma culture and music, her (despite everything) love of England and its quirky eccentricities.

This is the story of one woman’s bravery in the midst of prejudice and abuse.

Friday 30 January 7.30pm A show about sex in the 21st century, loneliness and friendship. A touching show inspired by a real-life experiment where two dancers, who have 21st-century attitudes towards relationships, are asked to date.

While dating, they discover their feelings for one another, as an audience contemplates the decisions they have made. They tell their story using physical dance and text. An outrageous narrator adds insight, humour and digital magic to this alternative indie love story.

Tickets: Donation, no booking required Workshop: Rhiannon Faith:dancingtheatre will

also be running a workshop for dance practitioners.

Inspired by astonishing true stories, INSIDE is a psychological drama that explores the effects of Stockholm syndrome on a kidnap victim desperate to keep hope.

Now, reeling from her latest beating and in the most critical hour of her captivity, the victim discovers that not everything she’s been told is true. But to find a way out, she’ll have to break through something much stronger than just the basement door.

The Garage Youth Theatre Company presents

Their shared illness bonds them and they support each other as they reveal their fears and hopes for the future while confronting, head on, the very real prospect of untimely death.

The Retreat, where they can have peer meetings without adult intrusion, is a place to go where it is calm and where their thoughts can be intimated to each other. What is discussed in The Retreat, stays in The Retreat.

Friday 27 February 7pm Flintlock Theatre this tour is presented by house

Anton Antonovich, a mayor in small-town Russia, is in the midst of a crisis. A government official is on his way to inspect his district and, in Anton’s own words, “this is a disaster!” The inspector is only too willing to overlook his misdemeanours in exchange for the odd generous bribe. But is he quite who he says he is or will Anton and his band of buffoons finally get what’s coming to them?

Flintlock’s version sees Gogol’s hilarious satire reinvented in a high-energy production featuring four actors swapping characters at break-neck speed. Suitable for ages 10 to 110 with physical storytelling and furiously fast klezmer soundtrack.
