“Making Theatre Gaining Skills was developed in 2012 by Hilary Strong, former director of the Edinburgh Fringe. The company uses innovative training methods and traditional theatre craft to enable unemployed adults and young people to move forward with their lives and sustain new opportunities. The Bognor Puppet Festival is now in its third edition, run and staffed by our learners, and brings brilliant family puppet shows to Bognor Regis.

“Making Theatre Gaining Skills is based in the Bognor Makerspace, a new creative venue in a large industrial warehouse, established in the centre of Bognor Regis. All their courses take place there.”
