| SAVVY
Theatre Company was
founded by the current Artistic
Director, Sheree Vickers. Through her early
work with school and community
groups, Sheree noticed that
although the process of drama
could be exciting and valuable
for the participants, very often
the presentation was arduous for
the audience, as many of them
only 'woke-up' when someone they
knew was on the stage.
Therefore, her aim with SAVVY is
to create theatre that is not
only inspiring and enjoyable for
those involved in its production,
but one that will give the
audience a worthwhile and
memorable experience also.
