The grant will be used to help bring the theatre and the arts through their 'Spring Chickens' programme to older people in rural communities many of whom have never been to the theatre before. The Company will travel throughout NI, targeting older people in sheltered housing, residential & care homes. They will also have a specific programme Targeting Older Men which will use a touring portable theatre to tour all over NI and encourage men to take part by telling a joke or doing a short performance.
