A big thank you, Hull Truck, for access to your brilliant rehearsal studios

You don’t have to be the next Chappell Roan to enjoy these parts, think of it as a sing-along-friendly show. And (don’t worry) we won’t be pressuring any audience member to join us on stage to sing into the mic. You are also welcome to sit back and enjoy the experience without singing.

Last week we announced our upcoming show Sh*t Life Crisis and you’ll have seen the word karaoke mentioned as a part of the show. What's that about?

The show will contain well-known tunes which the characters will sing to. You can sing from the audience, and dance, clap, whoop, cry, and cheer.

Sh*t Life Crisis is a hilarious new karaoke theatre show by Olivia Hannah (Braids) about how no one tells you that survival turns your life inside out, especially when everyone seems to be so much better at living than you.

Theatre has a vision problem.

When I say vision, I mean an articulation of why a building or organisation exists. A purpose. A statement of how you want to change the world.

A coherent, inspiring vision was essential to everything we did at Company Three.

But so many theatres don’t have one.
