A new show devised by The Brummie Ensemble will be staged at Birmingham Rep this month.

Marking the ensemble's first public performance, the show on Saturday 14 March will be a celebration of all things Brummie with 26 adults showcasing original music, poetry and movement. 

A free to attend adult drama group run by Women & Theatre, The Brummie Ensemble is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and brings people together from different walks of life, generations, backgrounds, identities and experiences to co-create exciting original theatre. The show at The Rep is a culmination of the first year of the project which will now run for a further two years with space for new recruits year on year.

Adaya Henry, Artistic Director, Women & Theatre said: "It has been a complete joy to work with so many people over the first year of The Brummie Ensemble, at a time when so much of the media is focused on division, it's more important than ever to create propositional theatre that brings people together from across the city. We can't wait to share what we have created with audiences." 

The group’s first public performance is a celebration of Birmingham and the vibrant and diverse communities that are proud to be called Brummies and is an opportunity for participants to share their experiences of The Brummie Ensemble and the positive impact it’s had on their well-being.
