Autism’s Got Talent

This promises to be a great event not only for those in the audience but also those who are coming together to join us on the stage.

We are bringing together a diverse group of people who are all on the Autistic Spectrum to come and show everyone just how talented they are.

All too often many people in society make the mistake of thinking that anyone with a disability is capable of very little……HOLD THE PRESS…….on this evening we will be showing everyone just what all these great people really are capable of and just how good they are at it!!

Talent comes in many forms so, as you would expect from us, we will be covering many different genres on the night ranging from performers with instruments to singers and dancers. We have some great stars who will be performing not only as soloists but some will also be coming together to perform in a group, something we are all too often told is too difficult to do!  Talent also stretches way beyond the field of performance so on the night we will also be hearing from, and championing, people that have done other amazing things showing great skills in such areas as writing, art and even extreme physical endurance.

This is a night that will surely open the eyes of those who previously didn’t realise just what someone on the Autistic Spectrum can be capable of.

As ever, in a bid to keep reaching out far and wide across our nation, we have perfomers that are coming to us from right across the country and even across the sea! This is not just a night to celebrate a small section of people but rather EVERYONE that is on the Spectrum. We want people to see the show or hear/read about it from others so they stop and realise just how capable that person they always ignore or walk past really could be. This is about those on the Spectrum actually being counted for.

For some it would be enough just to offer a few perfomers……..but not us!!  On the night there will also be informative dipslays for the audience to view in the foyer beforehand. Within these displays will also be included some of the great work that people you will be hearing from on the night have done such as art and pieces of writing. Doors will be opening at 6pm so we do encourage people to come along at that time so they can take advantage of the displays in plenty of time before the grand performance starts.

We have kept tickets to a low price of £10 but we will obviously help any concessions where we can. Everyone is welcome and we will do our very best to ensure that the evening is open to all. This is not just a performance for those on the spectrum to appear in but also for those that can to come and join us in the audience to enjoy themselves and also be inspired to start building on their own talent.  Anyone with any queries about the suitability of the show itself or the theatre can contact us on the Ticket phone number/email address below. Obviously a theatre/audience situation is not suited to all on the spectrum but this will be a very understanding and Autism Aware Audience so we don’t want anyone to feel that they can’t come or that a parent should automatically think they can’t bring a child with them. If you are not sure then please do contact us as we really do want this to be an audience that is mixed of those on the spectrum and those that aren’t.

The most important thing to remember is that this is going to be a proud night with many a laugh and lots of fun to be enjoyed by all.

Tickets are available now and can be purchased now by calling 01895 619734 or enquiries to lisa.robins@thevines.org.uk

We have a great team putting this evening together and there have even been rumours of a red carpet and possible a few well known faces……….we could tell you more but surely it is better to come and see for yourselves!
