Over the last 4 years Lowry have worked closely with local people to deliver high quality professional theatre performances, free of charge for audiences that face significant barriers to accessing the arts.

These performances have taken place in parks, schools, social clubs, day care settings and even shopping centres! Bringing the joy of theatre out of Lowry and into communities across Salford.

We deeply value the knowledge and experiences of Salford people who have faced barriers to accessing theatre in helping us to shape the way we do things and we are proud of the investment we are able to make into programs like The Show Selectors.

If you are interested in becoming a Show Selector and want to find out more please contact Sarah.Whitehead@thelowry.com
