Devised and created in collaboration with New Fosseway School, join us as the students take to the stage for a Schools Takeover!

Explore the depths of outer space with our crew of astronauts in training as we embark on intergalactic missions, discover new planets, and uncover the mysteries of the universe.

Schools Takeover is a project delivered by Tobacco Factory Theatres in partnership with New Fosseway School. Guided by our creative team of Theatre Director Kate Pasco, Musical Composer David Hewson, Designer Edwina Bridgeman and Young People’s Programme Coordinator Imogen Downes, the students have collaborated over 10 weeks to devise a brand-new show with original songs, stories and props.

The project is creative, explorative and adventurous, encouraging freedom of expression and imagination. Join us for this wonderful expression of the human spirit and our innate desire for connectivity and creativity.
